Two types of workshops may be proposed:
Education
These sessions are for experienced practitioners to share insights based on extensive professional experience. They should be presented either as a PowerPoint presentation or as a round-table discussion-based presentation including time for questions.
Time allocated: 15 minutes
Movement/Hands-on
Experiential learning, hands-on or movement based session, with maximum audience participation. Preferably with two or more speakers (preferably from different disciplines) covering one area in depth, with maximum audience participation. Workshop Sessions emphasize movement or experiential hands-on learning by the audience and essential aspects of the presentation are revealed through movement or other direct experience. Experiential presentations (imaging, relaxation, etc.) may be included in this category. Ideally, workshop sessions are practice-based or practice-led in nature.
Time allocated: 20 or 40 minutes
Workshop Guidelines
-
These sessions are designed for manual therapists, movement therapists, scientists, and clinicians.
-
No towels, or gowns will be provided. Presenters may bring their own additional equipment and will be responsible for their equipment.
-
Please include a justification in your submission for selecting either a 15-minute Education Session, a 20-minute Movement/Hands-on Session, or a 40-minute Movement/Hands-on Session. The final decision will be made by the reviewing committee.
-
No additional time is allocated for setup, so you will need to prepare at the side of the room before your session begins. If setup takes longer than expected, it will cut into your scheduled session time. The next session will start promptly after yours, and there will be no opportunity to extend beyond your allotted slot.

FAQ
-
Multiple submissions - Authors may submit multiple abstracts; however, only one abstract listing an author as the first author or presenting speaker will be accepted. Additional abstracts by the same author may be considered if a different co-author is designated as the presenting speaker. Only abstracts on distinct topics, studies, or findings will be reviewed; duplicate submissions might not be reviewed.
-
De-identification - Please ensure that identifying details in your proposal are minimized whenever possible. We understand that certain methodologies and approaches are trademarked; in these instances, the use of specific names is permitted.
-
AV needs - For accepted presentations, audiovisual (AV) support will be provided, including playback capabilities for videos, QR codes, and audio files. We recommend bringing printed QR codes in sufficient quantity to accommodate the expected audience size. Presenters are encouraged to test all media files in advance to ensure compatibility with the conference AV system. After acceptance, detailed AV instructions will be shared, including specific format requirements to ensure a seamless presentation experience.
-
Room structure and seating arrangements - Seating arrangements for Workshop and Education sessions are flexible. Please note that some rooms are longer in layout, and not all rooms are equipped with a stage.
-
Examination table - Each Workshop or Education session will be provided with ONE plinth for instructional use.
