International experts will tease you with these additional therapies and new skills in relation to lower limb disorders as well as higher up the kinetic chain. Furthermore, advanced skills in shoe development and fitting will be widely addressed.
The keynote speaker Mr. Clifton Bradeley, owner SUB-4 (UK) has an exceptional view on assessment tools for examination and treatment of sportspeople. With his company SUB-4 he developed several examination instruments which can be used in static and dynamic exams.
