The social distancing and self-isolating demands of the global COVID-19 pandemic has seen a rapid uptake in running by the general public. A perfectly solitary activity, running is the easiest form of exercise for most people. But as physiotherapists know, any sudden increase in physical workload is likely to produce injury and we can expect an influx of patients with running injuries soon.
In response Stephen King and Andrew Lemon of 21stcentury.physio, podcast.physio and MAT.physio have put together a panel of expert practitioners and champion runners for a FREE three-day virtual running symposium.
This extraordinary symposium is happening online on 11 – 13 May 2020. Each day 4-5 speakers will present and you have 24 hours in which to watch that day’s sessions. Plus each day there will also be a bonus live Facebook Q+A session where you can ask questions of some of Australia’s best ever runners, including Physio and Tokyo Olympics qualifier Ellie Pashley, Craig Mottram and Steve Moneghetti.
The world-leading experts presenting in the symposium come from around the globe and bring hundreds of years of running experience and knowledge to the event. Topics include
- Objective Assessment of the Runner
- Running Gait Analysis
- Challenges for the Female Endurance Athlete
- How to Manage Running Injuries in the Foot
- Treatment Strategies for Lateral Hip Pain in Recreational Runners
- Strength & Conditioning for the Endurance Runner
- What is the Right Type of Footwear for Running
- How to Become the Go-to Running Physio and Clinic
- And much more
Event host Stephen King puts the initial strong response to the symposium down to the premium domain name www.symposium.physio. He said, “It was really a no-brainer getting another .physio domain for the symposium. The money spent on the premium domain ($600) has already paid for itself by allowing us to bring some of the world’s best speakers and athletes together and being able to represent the quality of presentations and education that will be provided in this symposium. We are looking forward to this being the first of many”.
To participate in the symposium simply register for free at www.symposium.physio and join the 10,000 health professionals from around the world expected to attend. This is going to be an amazing event.
