Message from the Conference Chairperson

Dear Colleagues and Delegates

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Third International Emirates Physiotherapy Conference: Physio Dubai 2010. Our 2008 meeting was a resounding success and we are delighted to offer an even better program for the 2010 gathering.

The 2010 event will be looking at the latest evidence in relevant topics related to the spine and knee, pediatric neurology, exercise prescription for aging adults, and use of real-time ultrasound in rehabilitation.

Physio Dubai 2010 aims to fill the gap between practice and research by providing the latest in the growing body of knowledge and research in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation to ensure that your practice becomes evidence based. We have gathered a distinguished team of keynote speakers, all of whom are leaders in their fields.

If you were part of the previous meetings we welcome you back to Dubai and expect that you will be pleasantly surprised by the changes since your last visit. For those joining us for the first time, we believe that you will be pleased by the developments here both in local infrastructure and in the field of Physiotherapy.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all members of the Scientific and Organising committees who have put in great efforts to ensure the success of this conference. Last but not least, I would like to extend our gratitude to all of our sponsors and supporters.
