Physio Restart attended the 38th annual congress of the Society for Orthopaedic Traumatologic Sports Medicine (GOTS) to find out about the latest findings in sports medicine .

The congress is a meeting of all members and interested persons in sports medicine, including doctors, physiotherapists, trainers, sports scientists, nutritional therapists, etc. Over three days, various topics will be addressed, with experts giving an insight into their work and the state of scientific research. There will be discussion rounds and the opportunity to expand your network. There will also be an opportunity to get to know the latest products that may be relevant to us in practice at the industry exhibition. We also find it exciting to look into the work of the doctors so that we know which surgical techniques they may use on our patients.

Below you will find a brief overview of the program items.

Another highlight for us was the visit to the Coque: Coque Luxembourg – piscine, sauna, fitness et hôtel au luxembourg with the Young Academy (picture below).

The Coque is the national sports and cultural center in Luxembourg. At the moment, they are still building the recovery center, where there will be a cold chamber, saunas and other facilities to promote regeneration. At the Coque, we were given an insight into performance diagnostics: into the strength area with instructions on how to perform the squat with a barbell, into bike training in an altitude chamber, how to measure lactate on the ergobike and how to set up change of direction training as a return to sport on the speed court.

On Thursday, Anneke took part in the first aid course, which gave her theoretical and practical instructions on resuscitation and defibrillator training on the sports field (we still hope never to have to use this, of course). It is important to know what we can do in an emergency and we therefore see it as our duty to regularly educate ourselves, especially about the practice.

Finally, we visited the IRONMAN 70.3 Luxembourg – Région Moselle – Anything is Possible. Oliver took part as a relay team, together with Nicole and Elena. Oliver completed the 3rd discipline, running, after he had already ridden his racing bike from Basel to Luxembourg on Thursday and gone on a racing bike tour with the former Tour de France and Tour de Suisse winners on Saturday. The result of the Ironman was great, 5:14:47, 428th place. of the 2,078 participants.
