STRICTLY LIMITED SPACES!!
Helping arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis patients with movement and mobility issues
If you have patients or clients with the above symptoms than this course is for you!
Dr. Brent Anderson will illuminate how the foundations of movement science and facilitation underpin the physiotherapy profession, applying to all physiotherapist specialisations. With a spotlight on Anderson’s new textbook, “Principles of Movement,” he will delve into how each principle enhances movement experiences, instructional techniques, assessment methods, therapeutic interventions and most importantly, outcomes.
Focus will be placed on ways to improve patients’ internal awareness and independence, restore function and enhance performance.
Polestar’s Introduction to Pathokinesiology is a dynamic course designed for movement practitioners and health professionals who are eager to deepen their expertise. This program bridges the gap between current understanding knowledge of human physiology and the complexities of human pathology, laying a foundation in these essential sciences.
What sets this course apart is its seamless integration of these fundamentals with the science of kinesiology, offering a holistic and practical approach.
This course aims to underscore the importance of all physiotherapist becoming “movement experts”.
WHY ATTEND?
Participants will explore the interplay of these disciplines, empowering them to excel in assessing, designing, and implementing personalized treatment and exercise plans.
Through this introductory training, practitioners will appreciate a new level of tools to restore clients to their optimal state of participation—whether in daily activities, work, or recreation—unlocking their full potential in movement and function. This course is more than education; it’s the gateway to elevating your practice to the next level.
“Any pathology that impairs movement, is our specialty” Helen Hislop, PhD, a pioneering former chair of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy, a division at the Ostrow School of Dentistry of University of Southern California.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES
- Gain an understanding of the complexity of the human being and the multiple factors that influence the ability to participate fully in life.
- Understand how knowledge in kinesiology, physiology and pathology combined can enhance the practitioner’s ability to assess, design, treat and modify their client’s unique program.
- Experience movement from the perspective of human physiological systems, with a focus on neuro-musculoskeletal, integumentary, respiratory, and cardiovascular.
- Be introduced to the physiological system’s ability to maintain homeostasis.
- Correlate how human movement can influence homeostatic regulation.

EVENT IMPACT
“Kinesiology, as the science of movement, delves into various disciplines such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and motor control to comprehend the complexities of movement.
Dr. Anderson’s book and discourses serve as invaluable tools in deciphering the multifaceted nature of human movement, offering insights that make the subject accessible and enjoyable.
By emphasising qualitative movement, characterised by precise feedback, self-awareness, and practice, participants can achieve spontaneity, efficiency, and fulfilment in their endeavours.”
TESTIMONIALS
“Dr. Anderson’s deep love for making sense of human movement complexities and his ability to share his passion for the body, mind, and spirit connection make this an experience not to be missed.” – Dr. Carol Davis
