From injury to performance: Lessons to share in dance and sports
Monday 4 April 2011
Venue: Royal Society of Medicine, 1 Wimpole Street, LONDON, W1G 0AE
organised by the Royal Society of Medicine and Dance UK
Background:
Following a successful event held in 2009 the Royal Society of Medicine and Dance UK have once again come together to organise a one-day dance and sports medicine conference. These two areas have much in common in terms of the demands placed on the human body and mind, and the run up to the London 2012 Olympics seems a great moment to learn from each other. In these two high performance environments risk of injury is ever present and its effects can jeopardise careers. There has already been a certain amount of cross fertilisation between the worlds of sports and dance medicine, with an increasing number of practitioners having worked with both athletes and dancers.
Aims and objectives:
This day aims to provide practitioners with an opportunity to share knowledge and expertise. The day will address the causes, impact, effective prevention and management of injuries in elite dance and sport.
The first part of the day will give an overview of best practice in the approach to better understand dance and sports injury using effective research methodologies to inform and develop prevention strategies.
The second part of the day will focus in on the foot and ankle, two areas where both athletes and dancers commonly incur injury, to illustrate how interdisciplinary clinical practice can bring about the optimal outcome of return to performance in the shortest possible time, resulting in fitter, stronger and better athletes / dancers.
The programme aims to promote a multidisciplinary approach, with presentations from medical practitioners, allied health and fitness professionals in addition to personal insights from a leading dancer and sports person.
Who should attend?
The meeting will meet the learning needs of medical practitioners and therapists working with dancers and athletes (or interested in doing so), medical practitioners working in related areas and dance professionals who wish to minimise the risk of injury to help maximise performance.
