Vital Performance Management in partnership with Dr Dylan Morrissey has organised this full day conference to:  

  • Present leading experts from a range of medical and dance professions and enable them to share their unique insights into injury prevention and management across the ages of the athlete
  • Challenge current assumptions and best practice for management and injury prevention
  • Assist practitioners in maximising recovery and increasing performance potential
  • Provide a forum for the transfer of information between the worlds of sports and dance

    Who should attend?
    It is anticipated that the meeting will be attended by over 150 delegates as it builds on the successful event in January this year at the same venue, which had excellent feedback.
    The event is aimed at any professionals working in sports and/or dance such as healthcare practitioners, sport medicine doctors, physiotherapists, coaches and participants. Anyone with an interest in injury prevention at a variety of age ranges will find this a useful forum.
