Dr Merv Travers will distil the broad and confusing strength and conditioning literature into a constructive and executable guide for clinicians. Whether your patients are elite athletes or just getting started, this talk is for you.
Merv will emphasise clear take-home messages that will change your practice and bring theoretical information into clinical context by presenting a case study of one of his patients. After this PowerTalk you will have increased knowledge, skills and confidence in prescribing gym-based rehabilitation. Moreover, you should be energised and excited to get your patients in the gym.
