This year we have chosen to focus on an area of physiotherapy which is becoming more and more popular or sought out for – both by clinicians as well as the public: ERGONOMICS !. The world is changing and we find ourselves constantly spending more time at a task, or attempting to perform a task in a more efficient, energy-saving way. Instead of letting the machines rule us, Ergonomics is an area where we decide how the machine or the environment is to be designed. It is time physiotherapists in Singapore made a leap into the Ergonomic Era!

I also ask those who may not be as interested in Ergonomics, not to fret, as there is something for almost everyone : Sports Rehabilitation, Vascular Rehabilitation and Geriatric Rehabilitation Workshops, and varied plenary lectures touching all areas of physiotherapy.

So keep your calendar free from August 16th to August 20th for the Congress and Pre-Congress workshops. See you there!
