STT Conference Speaker Profile - Daniel O'Sullivan
Daniel has 20 years experience in Exercise Therapy and 8 years working as a Soft Tissue Therapist. Daniel utilises individualised rehabilitation programs working predominnently with people who have had limited success with previous treatment. He recently has written a journal article for an International Journal as part of his Masters Degree in Exercise Rehabilitation focusing on this work and utlisation of Kenesio Tape.
The emerging strategy of 'fascial unloading', defined as 'reducing tension in the inter connected fascial layers in response to the mechanical load applied to the tissue during movement', has recently gained popularity as a potential method for enhancing injury rehabilitation and promoting muscular performance. Using this technique on the thoracic region post massage and during exercise may enhance your patients ability to function more efficiently. Daniel discusses his case studies as well as some key tools in treating people with thoracic dysfunction through a joint by joint approach.

How can ESSA achieve the below result in two weeks and we haven't even contemplated asking the question? See below

ESSA, the Association responsible for the advocacy and betterment of the Exercise Physiology profession have gotten off their behinds and are proud to announce that:
"Changes to the 30% government rebate for private health insurance.
In the recent federal budget it was announced that those natural therapies that were not 'clinically effective' (as defined by the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) would no longer attract the 30% rebate. Exercise physiology services are classified as a natural therapy by some private health funds. Consequently, we wrote to the CMO, Professor Chris Baggoley asking for confirmation that exercise physiology services were considered to be 'clinically effective' and we are pleased to report that we recently received this confirmation."
It took ESSA less than 15 working days to obtain this clarification for it's members.
How long will it be before all hard working, loyal massage therapists (or is that remedial massage therapists) to hear the same good news from it's Association/s?
