Dear Conference Attendees

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to attend the session entitled “Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury: Changes, Challenges, and Solutions”. People with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may have chronic cognitive, behavioral, emotional, social, vocational, physical, and medical challenges. Although some will improve over time, others may decline. However cognitive, physical, functional, and medical problems can be addressed through medical, rehabilitation, and lifestyle interventions. Diet, exercise, socialization, and challenging mental activity can have a positive effect on cognitive status. Cognitive deficits, behavioral challenges, and functional limitations can be addressed with rehabilitation programs, even years after injury, though lengthy treatment programs may be needed. Residential rehabilitation programs often result in improvement. This session will provide an opportunity for participants to gain knowledge of the challenges and potential solutions to problems that can arise with chronic TBI.

Dear Participants of the, Global Conference on Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

I am honoured to be speaking at the 2024 Global Conference on Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in Madrid. With speakers from around the world presenting on everything from the cellular, nerve and gross anatomical level in order to educate each other on how we can get our patients back on their feet and doing their desired exercise or sport.
My background is in Sports Medicine Podiatry. Believe it or not, I chose my profession after having trained Standardbred race horses growing up and knew that I could help people with their gait. I am a 33 time marathoner and have experienced injuries and know what it is like to experience and come back from injuries.
I am confident that with the speakers that are presenting, we will be able to disseminate the proper information needed to achieve the goal of help taking pain away so people can function better.

Dear Attendees

Dear Conference Attendees, I am excited to present a session that delves into the fundamental concepts of DEI, underpinning the development of culturally competent leadership within our healthcare systems. This presentation will explore pivotal issues such as systemic racism, unconscious bias, and their impacts on healthcare delivery. This presentation will provide evidence-based insights and introduce tools for self-evaluation and organizational transformation, essential for bridging the DEI gap, incorporating actionable strategies for implementing and sustaining cultural humility across various professional layers.

Dear Conference Attendees of the 2nd Global Conference on Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Dear Conference Attendees, 

It is an honour and great pleasure to write a few welcome notes for the session entitled “Lifestyle approaches to prevent and manage disabilities”.

Over the last few decades, there has been an explosion in chronic lifestyle related diseases with a proportional increase in disability. It is not commonly appreciated and taught that many of these conditions are curable by making healthy lifestyle changes. There are many aspects of lifestyle such as diet, exercise, sleep hygiene and screen time over which an individual a lot of control. Good news is that it is never too late - many chronic disabling conditions are not just preventable, but also treatable, with cure or significant reversal / remission achieved through lifestyle changes.

After considering general principles of lifestyle medicine, the author will consider the available evidence for lifestyle management in a few common disabling conditions including osteoarthritis, dementia, degenerative brain diseases, neuropathies, cancer, metabolic diseases, etc.

I hope that you would benefit in many ways from this keynote lecture, including:

• Improving your own health by adopting the right lifestyle!
• Your patients would have already done some research in this area! You can counsel them better than Dr Google!
• You can utilise these interventions along with other conventional approaches. For instance:
• Weight loss before joint replacement to minimize the morbidity and improve the life of the prosthesis
• Good lifestyle to improve the quality of life following coronary interventions
• Lifestyle modifications before and after cancer treatments to improve QoL, reduce stress & depression.

Dear colleagues, congress visitors

Dear colleagues, congress visitors, from all over the world, I wish you all, on behalf of the Conference Organizer, a successful 2024 conference in Madrid. As we look forward to an amazing conference ahead of us, I invite you to participate and contribute with your participation, no matter where you are or what you do in the rehabilitation process. The world needs us, especially in times of climate change and military actions that have taken place. In times of economic crisis and energy deficit, many of us do not even have basic conditions for health care, let alone rehabilitation. But we will continue to strengthen the role of rehabilitation in health systems as an economically viable activity. All nations are united in the intention to build a commitment to rehabilitation services through integration into national health plans and policies, and cross-sectoral work, with meaningful participation of rehabilitation users. We have an important task ahead of us and that is to promote and share our experiences.
