Shockwave & EMTT Clinical Education Symposium

Bridging Evidence and Clinical Practice Through World-Class Faculty and Live Demonstrations.
About this Event

A one-day Shockwave + EMTT symposium to develop practical skills and discuss fundamentals and treatment options in greater depth with live on-stage demonstration by world-class faculty.

Full Agenda, FAQ, and Speaker BIOS Below

This event is designed for MSK clinicians, including physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, athletic therapists, massage therapists, sports medicine professionals, and physicians who want practical, evidence-based approaches to shockwave and EMTT.

Evidence to Practice Symposium

Featuring Prof. Dr. Karsten Knobloch and James Woledge

This science-led, clinically focused symposium is designed to translate the latest evidence into clear treatment frameworks you can apply immediately.

You’ll build a practical understanding of Radial pressure wave, Focus shockwave, and EMTT, including key mechanisms, indications and contraindications, parameter selection, sequencing, and outcome-based clinical decision making. Expect concrete, evidence-informed protocols and real-world strategies you can implement in your practice the very next day.
