The International Federation of Sports Physical Therapy is pleased to announce its participation, in conjunction with the Finnish Sports Physiotherapists Association, the first international sports physical therapy conference to be held in Finland:
Prevention - Mission: Possible 2015.


The IFSPT will present a special symposium, On The Ice: Sports Physical Therapy in Hockey. This course is included in conference admission.
 
Ice hockey is a finesse sport that requires a unique combination of speed, power, and teamwork. As a result, players are at risk for specific injury patterns-some of them avoidable. The IFSPT course will cover common injuries, rehabilitation after surgery and return to play for this popular sport
