" When I was reading the list where all the previous conferences have been - I thought I want to bring this great event to Switzerland.
And we are so lucky… we didn‘t just get the conference - we are also privileged to celebrate 50 years of IFOMPT.
When I was young I haven‘t been to a lot of conferences, since I have attended- my way of treatment is guided on recent clinical guidelines and evidenced medicine. The second reason: physiotherapists are such a great bunch of people - you will have a lot of fun - they are inspiring and great to spend time with."

"The IFOMPT conference 2024 in Basel is the major musculoskeletal and manual physical therapy conference. I was so happy when I learned that it would be held in Switzerland, as I had such a great time in Glasgow in 2016. It is a great opportunity to participate to the development of the programme of the conference, with a wonderful team of people involved. I really love the main theme of the conference - "Crossing bridges". The conference will aim to cross bridges between research, clinical practice, education, patients’ perspectives and society needs. The 50th anniversary, which will be celebrated in Basel, is also a great opportunity to reflect on the past, present and future of musculoskeletal and manual physical therapy. We are working hard to make sure the conference in Basel will be a major event to learn and reflect on our roles as musculoskeletal and manual physiotherapists, with a diversity in topics, presenters, perspectives and sessions. It will be a key event that should not be missed!" Statement by Guillaume Christ, member of the programme committee |
