Workshop facilitator:
Haydn Gambling graduated from University of South Australia’s Physiotherapy Program in 1989 (then SAIT) and spent his first four post graduate years working in Canada, USA and New Zealand seeking knowledge outside the mainstream. Early learning included Muscle Energy, Cranial and Visceral manipulative and Strain Counterstrain approaches.
Haydn co-founded Manual Therapy Institute in Australia in 1999 to help disseminate this knowledge and upon becoming a certified Strain Counterstrain instructor in 2013, founded Jones Institute Australasia. The curriculum of this organisation delivers both Strain Counterstrain and Fascial Counterstrain courses around the world. Haydn is now in his 37th year of clinical practice at Synergy Manual Therapy, a niche practice in Adelaide addressing complex and chronic conditions
