How it works:
Step One:
We’ll record a 10-minute video interview over Zoom.
There are only 3 questions and you'll be sent them beforehand.
Step Four:
We cut the episode into clips for your social media.
We give you a unique link to the Summit registration page that allows attendees to sign up for free.
Our Team.
We're a handful of researchers based remotely across 4 countries who all work on this project part-time. Each one of us takes on a different role depending on our areas of strength.
​
We've each had our individual frustrations with research dissemination and translation into clinical practice throughout our careers, which is why we're so excited to be making a difference in this space. If you're a physiotherapist, physical therapist or any healthcare provider working in the area of performance, injury and recovery - we're here for you.

"It's like watching a series."
"You know you don't have time to watch another episode but you want to so you do.
​
When attending a talk or course, I usually struggle to focus for even half an hour but because the videos were short, I felt accomplished after each one and I could take a break every 10 to 15 minutes.
​
I found the layout very user-friendly and I liked that I could work through it in my own time."
​
- Kalinka Terre Blanche
Clinician at Rainsford Biokinetics
"The way the course was set up was so ideal."
"If I could fit the whole course in one day, I think I would have. But it's like a series. Every time you're like one more episode, just one more, one more module.
From the beginning, I understood the flow right until the end. It was very user friendly.
The materials help you stay on top of the game for every session you go into. "
- Jodie Vermeulen
Clinician at SA Biokinetics INC
"You went a step further and asked how we could practically implement this with the client."
"Most courses they would just say yes instead of using this, use this, and that's pretty much the end of it.
But they don't really get into the specifics of, okay, how would you change your approach if you're using method B instead of your usual method?
And that's what I also love about that specific module."
- Brendon Marais
Clinician at bmbio
"Definitely a lot of value for money"
​
"and enthusiasm for your career. The other thing was the practical advice. Lots of info but broken down into steps: practical steps. "

evidence-based interventions without needing to search for it in databases.
It really does save time, effort and energy.

My favourite thing is that it is very convenient to learn and read with breakdowns of the information into attractive bite size pieces, making it easy for the reader to digest."
​
- Candace Goh
"The clinical updates have been a great way to stay up-to-date
on some of the research I may have missed, and also have out some of the grunt work taken out of looking for the research myself while still staying on top of the evidence.
​
My favorite part of the weekly updates is how easy they are to read!"
​
- Samantha Greig

and I inform my patients of the updates and what the latest research tells us.

The summary of the articles give me
the most important data in a short but potent way.
​
Saving me time."
​
- Denise Gous
"The updates help a lot
in that I'm able to recap on the literature we learned in varsity and it goes more in depth which always helps and it gets me in the groove to read more articles.
​
My favourite thing about the weekly research updates is how recent the articles are and the humour in the email."
​
- Bheki Motau
"As a full-time clinician,
there are times when you encounter a rush of patients which reduces the amount of time and effort you may provide to reading research.
​
This is where these research updates become most useful.
​
Short and crisp with highlighted findings make the job easier and more effective."
​
​
- Payal Adwani

But these emails make things just a little easier!!"

and there is the added bonus that I am don’t have to sift through all the other articles to find it.

Nice summarised version which is relatively quick to look through.
​
Your twist on presenting the research is always fun.
​
Not too much information all at once and hence the information is digestible and can be worked on. "
​
- Dr Ron van As
"I am glad to say your updates helped me a lot.
Our profession is changing at a very fast pace, sometimes I struggle as a full time clinician to find time to look for new information, sometimes I find the amount of info is overwhelming and confusing.
​
Your updates save me time and energy, they're very short and on point.
​
Thank you so much for your effort, I really appreciate it."
​
​
- Dr. Eiman Alkhezi

​
- Akinwande Oluwadamilare
"Ensuring I get a summary of the latest papers and then
I can go deeper
into them if I find them relevant for me."
​
- Bryce Jackson
"I find these updates so helpful.
It is often so difficult to find time to read articles when you have your own practice.
Between seeing patients and running your practice it becomes difficult to make sure that you are up to date on the latest rehab techniques and new studies that's been done.
I used to spend hours
trying to find relevant articles that actually helps me to treat my patients better.
These updates makes it so easy and the best part is
you can apply what you read in your practice.
I really feel that it makes a huge difference in my practice and if i need to read the whole article it is right at my finger tips.
My favorite thing about these weekly updates is that
I learn something new every week
and then I apply that to my rehab.
I love the fact that I can tell a patient I read this article about their injury and this is the latest an greatest new research about it.
They love it as well.
It is like breath of fresh air in my practice."
