During the first week of October, Physical Therapy Professor Dr. Mike Voight was an invited speaker at the 3rd World Congress of Sports Physical Therapy held in Vancouver B.C. The theme of the Congress was “High Performance to Clinical Practice.” The variety of presentations given during this congress were examples of the contemporary sports physical therapy research activities taking place around the world.
In addition to moderating a session regarding the delivery of care during Elite and Olympic Games, Dr. Voight served as both a reviewer and as a member of the judging panel to select the best research presentations from around the world. With over 600 participants from around the world, this was one of the biggest and most diverse group of sports specialists ever gathered for a world meeting.

In addition to presenting on several topics related to the hip, Dr. Voight is on the ISHA scientific committee and helped judge more than 500 poster/platform research presentations for the best one in the area of physical therapy. The ISHA congress had over 750 participants representing 128 different nations from around the world. This three-day meeting is considered the premiere meeting in hip joint preservation.
