IBJI held its annual Sports Medicine Symposium on Saturday, November 2, 2019. For the second year in a row, the event sold out, with an attendance of more than 100 participants! Participants included physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, athletic trainers, strength coaches, and nurses.
It was an exciting line-up with presentations from IBJI physicians, including Roger Chams, MD, Steven Mardjetko, MD, Anthony Savino, MD, Michael Chiu, MD and Nathan Wetters, MD.
Tom, running after hip replacement, finished a marathon in a little over four hours.
Dr. Anthony Savino presenting on “Active Recovery Following Concussion.”
There was something new for everyone this year. Presentations from physicians and other IBJI specialists were engaging and relatable. Physicians included examples of the work they do in their practice and how the specialists in the audience can apply it within their own practices. The presentation by Dain Hampton, PT, DPT, OCS, COMT, delighted the crowd with a live demonstration of dry needling.
