The Singapore Physiotherapy Association (SPA) invites members to an exclusive legal webinar designed to safeguard your practice in today’s complex healthcare landscape.

SPA’s Legal Advisors will address practical, real-world scenarios that physiotherapists commonly encounter — and the legal implications that may follow.

Key topics include:

🔹Advice in Social Settings
What are your responsibilities when giving informal professional advice at social gatherings, to friends and family, or on social media? Understand the boundaries, risks, and how to protect yourself.

🔹Insurance Fraud and Identity Verification
What should you do if you suspect insurance fraud? Learn about your legal obligations, identity verification requirements, recommended procedures, and reporting responsibilities.

🔹Financial Arrangements and Conflicts of Interest
Gain clarity on the legal and ethical implications of medical practitioners holding equity in physiotherapy clinics, referral-based financial arrangements, fee-sharing practices, disclosure requirements, and compliance considerations — including the risks of misrepresenting non-registered personnel.

➡️ This members-only session offers essential guidance to help you practise confidently, ethically, and within regulatory boundaries.

➡️ Join us to stay informed, protected, and professionally prepared.

🚀 Unlock the Power of Isometric Testing in Sports & Rehab ⚙️📊

How can we objectively measure strength, early force, and rate of force development — accurately, safely, and efficiently? 💡
Force plate–based isometric testing is increasingly used in high-performance sport… and it’s highly relevant for physiotherapy too.

Join the Singapore Physiotherapy Association – EPA Special Interest Group for an insightful webinar:
🧠 "Isometric Muscle Testing Using Force Plates: Theory and Applications"

Our speaker, Dr Danny Lum — Senior Strength & Conditioning Scientist at the High Performance Sports Institute Singapore — brings over a decade of experience working with national athletes across multiple sports 🏃‍♂️🏊‍♀️🤼‍♂️. His research in isometric training and force development is widely published and internationally recognised 📚🌍.

In this session, you’ll gain a strong theoretical foundation on:
✅ Why multi-joint isometric assessments are reliable and well-validated
✅ Advantages over dynamic strength testing (⏱️ faster, 🛡️ safer, 🧪 precise)
✅ How force plate measures relate to real sports performance
✅ Why joint position matters when interpreting results
✅ Choosing the right protocol for peak force vs early force/RFD

Perfect for clinicians, sports physios, and practitioners looking to bridge research, testing, and performance 🔗

🎤 Moderator: Dr Dinesh Verma
Chairperson, EPA Special Interest Group

🧠 SPA Neuro SIG Webinar
✨ Unravelling Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) ✨

Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) are among the most common causes of neurological disability, yet they remain widely misunderstood. This webinar unpacks the science, clinical reasoning, and physiotherapy-specific approaches to managing FND — empowering clinicians to support patients more effectively.

📅 23 February (Monday)
⏰ 6–7 PM (Singapore) | 8–9 PM (Queensland)
🎯 Target audience: Physiotherapists, therapy assistants & healthcare professionals with an interest in neurology

🔍 Learning objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Define FND and recognise key phenotypes (functional seizures, functional movement disorders, PPPD)
• Identify common diagnostic challenges and understand the role of positive signs (e.g. Hoover’s sign)
• Apply the biopsychosocial model to FND assessment and management
• Describe evidence-informed physiotherapy approaches for FND care

🎤 Speaker:
Dr Dharsha Petrie – Advanced Physiotherapist & APA Titled Neurological Physiotherapist
One of Australia’s most experienced FND physiotherapists, Dharsha brings deep clinical expertise and passion in neurological rehabilitation, including FND, stroke, TBI and movement disorders. She is also the National Chair of the APA Neurology Group.

🧑‍⚕️ Moderator:
Dr Aileen Eugenia Scully – Assistant Professor, Singapore Institute of Technology
An experienced neurological physiotherapist with over a decade of clinical and research experience across acute, outpatient and community settings.

📌 Why attend?
Physiotherapists are uniquely positioned to help individuals with FND regain function and independence — but this requires specialised knowledge. This webinar delivers practical, evidence-based insights you can apply directly to clinical practice.
