Stuart has a brand new soft tissue approach which he will present at this event. We have not yet confirmed our final practitioner. When we have finalised the titles of the

are very excited to announce that this year we have managed to coax not one,

hands on sessions and confirmed the final practitioner, we will contact those of you who have booked (in the order in which you have booked), to give you your choice of which sessions you would like to attend. As we have just 35 places available on each practical session, we would urge you to book early to ensure you get the sessions of your choice.

The conference will take place on Saturday

8th November at the University of Salford. On Sunday 9th a closed conference will be taking place specifically for members of the British Association of Sports Rehabilitators and Trainers. The programme for this is yet to be finalised. Both Rob Granter and Stuart Hinds will be speaking on the Sunday and we can in exceptional cases allow you to attend on the Sunday if critical sports commitments prohibit you from attending on the Saturday, however this will need to be in exceptional cases.
