And they’re off - Part 1 almost done! It’s hard to believe that this group of amazing physios is nearing the one third mark of completion of their ConnectTherapy™ Practitioner Certification. This group is on an 18-month journey of in-depth learning, feedback and examination in ConnectTherapy & the Thoracic Ring Approach™. This is a new format with a combination of Virtual and In-Person sessions to give the best possible learning experience. The group launched in April, and in May we hosted Participants from Canada, New Zealand, and the United States at LJLI headquarters in North Vancouver. Participants get to observe LJ assess and treat patients as well as get feedback on all their hands-on skills. This is not a course for the faint-hearted!

We’re so proud of this group’s dedication and commitment to providing the best care for their patients. And with so many jumps in learning from phase one, we’re even more excited for what’s next!

Stay tuned for upcoming ConnectTherapy Grand Rounds dates that will be presented by this group over the coming months!

Interested in the next Certification dates? The next cohort starts in 2026. Email: [email protected] for more details.

There’s still time to register! The ConnectTherapy™ Series is returning to Vancouver, this 2024!

If you’re ready to challenge your mind and change the world of your patients, this is the course for you.
The ConnectTherapy Series is a 3 Part learning experience, taught by Dr. Linda-Joy (LJ) Lee. It provides in-depth hands-on and clinical reasoning skills in the Thoracic Ring Approach™ and ConnectTherapy™ models. These models illuminate the connections between all regions and systems of the body and integrate psychosocial features to treat the whole person by “Finding the Drivers” & the most relevant Influences for the person’s problem.

“I have already recommended it to quite a few colleagues. I feel as if I am learning “modern” physiotherapy. I don’t think there is another course out there that can teach you how to treat the whole person so effectively. They say you should go learn from the best, as they have already made all the mistakes and figured things out. We are so lucky as a profession that we have someone like LJ who is willing to share her knowledge and process so we can help as many people as possible!” – J.Browne, Saskatoon, S.K

🎉 Our inaugural ConnectTherapy™, the Pelvis & Abdominal Wall course in Vancouver was a resounding success! 🎉

We are thrilled to share that our participants had an incredible learning experience and left with invaluable insights.

The Virtual, ConnectTherapy™, the Pelvis & Abdominal Wall course is now available, online as a SELF-PACED course. With over 11 hours of content and 12 months access, this is a great introduction to the world of ConnectTherapy. ConnectTherapy is a whole body evidence-informed approach and, in this course, provides physiotherapists with a robust diagnostic assessment to determine when the dysfunctional pelvis is the underlying cause, or “Driver” of symptoms, or if the pelvis is the victim of a Driver elsewhere in the body.
Determining the location of the patient’s Drivers provides the pathway to the most efficient and effective treatment plan to relieve symptoms and restore whole body optimal function and performance. This is the pathway to helping patients reach their movement goals.

Stay tuned for updates on future ConnectTherapy courses and continue to expand your horizons with us. Together let's make a positive impact on patient care!
