BMC Injury symposium
On Nov 21st I went along to the injuries symposium held in Sheffield by the BMC, this was the second symposium held as the first proved a huge success.
There was a full turn out to the event at the Showcase in Sheffield, the talkers consisted of physio therapists, surgeons, pediatricians, musculoskeletal radiologists & nutritionist who have come together to discuss the identification and treatments of climbing related injuries and overuse syndromes.
The crowd was a mixture and lots of faces to recognise from doctors, coaches and instructors, although all still fellow climbers.
My particular favourite speakers where Volker and Isa Schöffl who have an unimaginable amount of experience, their work with climbers is endless as well as numerous papers and studies carried out. They have developed new techniques and ways of fixing us broken climbers and seemed to have devoted their lives to the improvements of the climbing fraternity, I personally say thankyou!
