TRIA Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Conference
TRIA Research and Education Center is pleased to present our annual Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Conference on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
Experience a day focused on modern musculoskeletal care, connecting emerging concepts with everyday clinical practice. An inspiring keynote on what makes a master clinician will set the tone for the day, followed by expert-led sessions and customizable breakout tracks that allow attendees to tailor learning to their practice. A case-based debate on manual therapy versus exercise will bring current clinical questions into a lively, thought-provoking format.
Sessions will explore active and passive treatment classification, functional testing, loading principles and digital treatment options, along with manual therapy concepts that integrate person-centered care, pain mechanisms, and phenotyping. In-person attendees will participate in additional small-group breakouts covering shoulder-neck syndromes and unique treatment considerations in manual therapy.

Testimonials
“This conference has always been full of great information and evidence based/real scenarios that have allowed me to put me in the place of the patient/athlete. This conference educates on acute and chronic injury management and is very beneficial to my practice.”
“I really enjoy the panel discussions. Our understanding of these concepts is steadily evolving and it is great to have them presented to a large group. This helps our profession grow and stay on par with the latest and greatest.”
“Working as an outreach Athletic Trainer in the high school setting, I have to get creative when it comes to rehab. I don’t have a lot of resources and patient compliance can be low at times. It’s always great to get new ideas backed by evidence.”
“I feel that TRIA puts on a great conference every year. They bring in great speakers and there is always a great variety of topics discussed. I enjoy the sport emphasis.”
