Live CPD | CFS/ME and fibromyalgia: Theory and practice - presented by Virginia Blake

This course focuses on the research into causes, effects and treatments of CFS/ME and fibromyalgia. We will also cover long covid as this has led to further research into post-viral syndromes. We will review the combination of factors thought to contribute and which conditions to screen for that present with similar symptoms.

This is a difficult area to work in: very complex clients with myriad unexpected reactions to interventions. Progress can be slow and a multi-disciplinary approach is often warranted. Working out where to start is one thing, then your client, finally on an upward trajectory, catches covid 3 times. The advances forward and the setbacks can be hard to manage. I will share my experience of the cases that recover quickly, recover slowly, and the heartsink cases that don’t improve and even worsen.

Live CPD | Mastering bone health: An integrative framework for osteoporosis prevention and management - presented by Maria Rigopoulou

This course will take a deep dive into the multifactorial nature of osteoporosis, exploring bone as a dynamic and responsive tissue affected by diet, hormones, stress, exercise, and more. Through a functional lens, it gives practitioners a clinical framework for working with bone density across the lifecycle, especially during menopause and ageing.

Many practitioners may not recognise contributing factors and early signs of knowledge or lack confidence in interpreting bone scans and tests, advising on suitable nutrition plans, exercise or supplements, or personalising support for bone loss in the presence of gut, autoimmune, or hormonal issues and other conditions.
