TRIA Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Conference
TRIA Research and Education Center is pleased to present our annual Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Conference on Saturday, October 24, 2026.
Join us for a full-day conference delivering practical, evidence-based education across topics shaping modern musculoskeletal care. An inspiring keynote on what makes a master clinician sets 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 brings current clinical questions into a lively, thought-provoking format.
Active movement sessions focus on advanced clinical decision making for spine-related pain and dysfunction, including red flags, CPG-driven functional testing, loading principles, post-operative lumbar management, and digital care options. Passive movement sessions explore modern manual therapy, pain mechanisms and phenotyping, regional interdependence, needling and interventions for smaller clinicians.

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.”
