    Strength gains don't require a fully equipped gym. This highly interactive, 90% practical session will show you how to effectively apply the principles of progressive overload using minimal equipment in both rehabilitation and performance settings. You'll learn what progressive overload is, why it's essential for strength and hypertrophy, and how patient response—not just the exercise prescription—should guide your clinical decision-making. Through live demonstrations and hands-on practice, you'll explore exercises that can be easily progressed or regressed, helping you confidently adapt training to the individual in front of you. By the end of the session, you'll have a clearer understanding of strength training dosage, practical progression strategies, and simple ways to challenge patients with limited resources. Expect plenty of movement, discussion, and real-world application in a fun and engaging learning environment.

    With an estimated 2 million people in Great Britain using weight loss injections, understanding their potential impact on bone density, muscle mass, strength and pain is vital for clinicians. New research is constantly emerging. This talk will go beyond the headlines to explore how weight loss injections can impact bones, muscles and joints and why this matters for patients and the care of their musculo-skeletal system. The mechanisms for this and how it differs from traditional weight loss methods will be discussed. As well as drawbacks, research on potential benefits for joint and cardiovascular health, how this differs from traditional weight loss methods and why maintaining muscle mass is crucial for weight loss therapy efficacy and weight management will be presented. Practical information on how to maintain and improve bone density, muscle strength, joint pain and metabolic health whilst using weight loss injections will also be presented.

    This keynote is designed as a practical, accessible session for physiotherapists, sports clinicians and multidisciplinary teams. The session will help attendees make sense of why some clients recover, adapt or progress differently, even when their training or rehabilitation plan appears well matched. It will introduce awareness of nutrigenomics, stress physiology and trauma-informed practice as additional layers for understanding recovery, resilience and performance. The emphasis will be on practical insight, professional reflection and thoughtful integration within existing rehabilitation, resilience and performance frameworks.
