Advanced Cervical Dystonia Convention 2026

The Advanced Cervical Dystonia Convention 2026, hosted by NeuroRehabilitation Sunshine Coast, will take place from 30 March to 1 April 2026 at the Pullman Port Douglas Sea Temple Resort and Spa. This inaugural convention is designed exclusively for accredited registrars and consultants in rehabilitation medicine and neurology, offering a unique opportunity to deepen expertise in ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injections for cervical dystonia.

The program focuses on identifying muscles commonly affected in cervical dystonia using ultrasound imaging. Teaching will be delivered by leading specialists including Dr Warren Jennings-Bell, Dr Jom Jiao, and Dr Juan Rois, who have extensive experience in developing and applying ultrasound-guided injection techniques for spasticity and dystonia.

Over three days, participants will engage in structured sessions that combine theoretical instruction with practical demonstrations. While no injections will be performed during the course, the emphasis will be on building diagnostic and procedural confidence through case-based learning and anatomical workshops. The convention is supported by Anatomy & Ultrasound Workshops, ensuring that attendees gain a comprehensive understanding of both clinical and technical aspects of treatment.

Registration is priced at AUD $1650, with accommodation packages available at discounted rates through the conference venue. Attendance is limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, ensuring an intimate learning environment with high levels of interaction between faculty and participants.

The convention builds on NeuroRehabilitation Sunshine Coast’s broader Centre of Excellence initiative, which aims to improve treatment outcomes for spasticity and cervical dystonia through education, research, and clinical innovation. Complementary resources such as the Ultrasound & Spasticity and Ultrasound & Cervical Dystonia handbooks further support ongoing learning.

Ultimately, the Advanced Cervical Dystonia Convention 2026 is more than a training event—it is a landmark educational gathering that strengthens clinical capability, fosters collaboration, and advances the safe and effective use of ultrasound-guided botulinum toxin injections in neurorehabilitation practice.
