PMU - MEET THE EXPERT Ask the question that moves you

Multimodal therapy applications in prevention and rehabilitation using naturally occurring remedies have a long tradition in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. The positive effects of Gastein's remedies are known far beyond the country's borders and have been used for therapeutic purposes for over 500 years. But how difficult is it to substantiate this empirical knowledge with scientific studies? How can evidence be created here in order to make well-founded decisions for prevention and rehabilitation measures? This event is dedicated to these questions as part of a MEET THE EXPERT, consisting of 2 specialist presentations followed by a panel discussion. Questions and comments from the audience are explicitly encouraged! Participation earns 3 diploma training points for Austrian doctors. Organiser: Gastein Research Institute / Institute of Physiology and Pathophysiology of the PMU Salzburg and Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Arthritis and Rehabilitation
