Welcome
Attendees, guests, and colleagues—welcome!
We are delighted to invite you to the 26th ISMST World Congress, which will take place June 6-9th 2024 in Leonardo Royal Hotel Amsterdam.
The international ISMST congress is a podium for connection and getting up to date on shockwave therapy. Our intention with this conference is to help those who are new to this medical field gain knowledge and experience this treatment modality, as well as educate those who have extensive knowledge about the winding road to success. Our hope is that by the end of our conference, you gained knowledge on when and how shockwave therapy is used around the world. During this event, we encourage you to make contacts and new connections that will reinforce your feeling of inclusion. If we can be of any assistance in this endeavor, then please feel free to reach out.
Our agenda features expert advice and cutting-edge research that helps us better understand the background and future of shockwave therapy. Though shockwave therapy comes in many forms, certain key features define and underlie the success. For example, to understand its working mechanism we promote basic research, performing good quality research, acknowledge struggles, and foster a climate of encouragement and healthy exchange of knowledge as this is fundamental for becoming even more successful. Our intention is for you to find this conference helpful in moving you toward these goals.
In addition, you will be able to attend instructional courses for both medical doctors and physiotherapists, in which you will be taught about the technical background, its biological efficacy, and you will practice its application in various approved indications under experts’ supervision.
On top of that, the social program will show you the world’s most liberal city; Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a well-connected and accessible, digital and social hub. It is well known for its artistic heritage, extensive canals and its houses, but also of its famous beers and DJs. So let yourselves be surprised and enjoy!
We are looking forward to meeting you in person in our wonderful city of Amsterdam to get a taste of the best it has to offer.
On behalf of our local organizing committee,
Marianne Koolen
26th International ISMST Congress President
