Clinical Master of Physiotherapy in BBAM (60 ECTS) 2022
Friday the 16th of December was the final day for students at the Clinical Master of Physiotherapy in BBAM 2022, University of Almeria, Spain. The 2022 students were 16 physiotherapists from 13 countries: Japan, Hong Kong, Latvia, Poland/Belgium, Austria, Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Sweden, Denmark, Norway. 
 
The Clinical Master is the third edition at the University of Almeria, Spain. It builds on 17 years of academic teaching in BBAT from Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Bergen, Norway.
 
Because of the ongoing Covid-situation worldwide, the 2022 edition was a full digital one-year study (January – December). Accordingly, several educational steps were taken to compensate for the loss of the original part-time campus-based teaching. BBAT teachers from nine countries contributed in teaching a variety of clinical implementations in BBAT.
 
Congratulations to students of 2022 for impressive and intense study involvement in BBAM during the year of 2022!
 
Kind regards from Liv Helvik Skjærven, PT, PhD 
Management Team, Clinical Master of PT in BBAM, UAL. Spain.

 

Seks nye fysioterapeuter med klinisk kompetanse i Basal Kroppskjennskap!

I juni ble det holdt BK4 for første gang i NIBK regi. Etter at NFF sluttet å holde kurs i metode har det vært en periode med få kurs, men siden 2018 har kursrekken blitt tilbudt i regi av NIBK og nå har altså seks fysioterapeuter fullført hele rekken. Av disse har tre spesialisering i psykomotorisk fysioterapi, mens de tre andre jobber ved DPS, med barn og ungdom i kommunen og en er privatpraktiserende. En fysioterapeut som jobber innen kvinnehelse og barn måtte dessverre trekke seg rett før kurset, men vil fullføre ved neste mulighet.

I forkant av BK4 har alle gjennomført et prosjekt og skrevet en prosjektoppgave. Vi fikk høre om 6 spennende prosjekter rettet mot ulike type pasienter, både individuell behandling, gruppebehandling og et forebyggende tiltak i ungdomskolen. I tillegg til dette la deltakerne frem en teoripresentasjon og ledet gruppen i praktisk arbeid med Basal Kroppskjennskap som metode. Vi er imponert over den innsatsen som er lagt ned av alle, og all den solide kunnskapen som ble delt denne uka.

Alle deltakerne beskriver at det har vært en god prosess de har vært i helt siden oppstart og at de føler at de har styrket egen klinisk praksis gjennom denne utdannelsen. De trekker frem forståelsen for hva en helhetlig tilnærming kan innebære, evnen til å observere og jobbe med bevegelseskvalitet og det å endre uhensiktsmessige bevegelsesvaner. I tillegg ble verdien av det å få pasientene aktive i egen behandling og prosess trukket frem. Flere av prosjektene gikk over 8 uker og de var overrasket over hvor mye som hadde skjedd på denne korte tiden med pasienter som hadde hatt plager over lenger tid.

Vi i NIBK er stolte og glade for å kunne sende disse flotte fysioterapeutene ut til helsetjenesten rundt om i Norge med styrket kompetanse som vil komme mange pasienter til gode. Vi gratulerer og ønsker alle lykke til med arbeidet videre!

Hilsen fra stolte lærere og lærerkandidater i NIBK

I BK er tilstedeværelse sentralt. Fordypningsseminaret inviterte meg til å være fullt til stede i tre dager. Jeg opplever at jeg fikk påfyll på alle Dropsy’s fire nivåer: Jeg var til stede som fysisk kropp mot underlaget i våre ulike utgangsstillinger. Til stede som levende kropp, med pust og med aksept for alle kroppens rytmer. Jeg var til stede som følende menneske. Jeg opplevde at følelser ble tatt imot og dermed kunne falle til ro igjen. Og jeg var til stede som ånd, i våre felles refleksjoner i gruppen og gjennom å ha tid til å skrive egne notater i løpet av kurset. Jeg fikk erfaringer av hva som kan støtte meg selv, og hvordan kan jeg støtte andre i å være til stede i livet her og nå, som nærværende og levende mennesker.

«Etterklang» er et av begrepene vi utforsket på fordypningsseminaret i BK. Etterklangen av seminaret vibrerer i kroppen min som et mykt velvære.

Jeg vil varmt anbefale fordypningskurset til fysioterapeuter som jobber med utgangspunkt i et helseorientert perspektiv innenfor alle fagområder.

"Jeg er utrolig takknemlig for å få lov til å øve på å bli dyktigere BK terapeut i en trygg og raus atmosfære med gode kolleger og med en så dyktig lærer som Anne Marie er. På dette fordypningskurset lærte jeg mer om meg selv som menneske og jeg håper at det hjelper meg å overføre den kunnskapen videre til mine pasienter. I bevegelsene, bruken av stemmen og med kontakt med min pust, fikk meg til å innse at jeg er både trygg, men også utrygg. Sterk og svak. Jeg er begge deler, samtidig - og det er helt greit. Det er slik det skal være."
