BOARD MEMBER NAMED IFSPT
VICE PRESIDENT
 Dr. Anthony (Tony) Schneiders (New Zealand/Australia) has been named Vice President of the IFSPT, according to Dr. Nicola Phillips (UK), President of the IFSPT.
Tony has been a registered Physiotherapist for almost 30 years and served in hospital clinic and private practice settings before returning to full-time study in 1991 in Manipulative Physiotherapy (PGDipManipTh) at Curtin University in Western Australia, where he also worked part-time as a Musculoskeletal Teaching Fellow.
Tony subsequently pursued further postgraduate education at both Curtin University and the University of Otago, respectively obtaining a MSc in Physiotherapy and a postgraduate tertiary teaching certificate. Tony joined the Otago School of Physiotherapy as a lecturer in 1995 and was awarded the Vadoott Cup (Best Lecturer Award) five times. He completed his PhD in biomechanics at Otago in 2006 studying 3-D motion analysis and EMG.
Tony is currently Professor and Physiotherapy Discipline Leader at CQUniversity in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia and a Senior Associate Editor of the
British Journal of Sports Medicine. He is also listed on the International Editorial Review Board of
JOSPT.
Tony has both a sports and manipulative physiotherapy focus. His specific research interests include sports injury/prevention, sports-related concussion, athlete screening, biomechanics, exercise prescription, exercise compliance/adherence issues, balance, laterality, and low back pain.
Tony serves on the Research, Professional Development, and Scientific Congress Committee, and on the IFSPT Registration Board, and has been an IFSPT board member since 2011.
Please join us in congratulating Tony and welcoming him to his new position!

JOIN YOUR COLLEAGUES IN THE IFSPT
DECEMBER 1-3, 2016
PLANET HOLLYWOOD HOTEL AND RESORT
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, USA
Join us in exciting Las Vegas at the beautiful Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino for Team Concept Conference 2016 as SPTS and IFSPT bring you not only the biggest and brightest names in sports medicine in the US, but the world!
Good rates on flights to Las Vegas are available now from Europe and globally.
This intensive three-day course will feature a golf medicine symposium on
Day One, followed by an educational session and welcome reception sponsored by Theraband.
Day Two brings hands-on labs, themed sessions and
a keynote speech by Richard Parks, famed extreme athlete from Wales.
Richard Parks is a former Wales international rugby union player turned Extreme Environment Athlete. He now spends his life taking on expeditions and challenges, which push the boundaries of human performance.
As a professional rugby player and back row forward, Richard made a name for himself as a hard and prolific tackler, representing Wales and The Barbarians. During his professional career spanning 13 years, he played for Pontypridd, Leeds, Perpignan and Newport Gwent Dragons. He won the Principality Cup with Pontypridd and The Powergen Cup with Leeds.
Following his forced retirement from rugby, Richard made history twice with two incredible feats of endurance; a world first expedition called the 737 Challenge, where in July 2011 he became the first ever person to climb the highest mountain on each of the world's 7 continents and stand on all 3 poles (the North Pole, the South Pole and the summit of Everest) within 7 months. Richard is now in the Guinness World Records for this feat
In January 2014 he became the first Welshman, and the fastest ever Brit, to ski solo, unsupported and unassisted to the South Pole.
Utilising both his commercial and performance experience, Richard proudly serves his country as a Sport Wales board member.
He recently launched his own BBC television series. You may learn more here.
Day Three focuses on more sessions and labs, including a return to play session presented by IFSPT members.
