Hosted by Sophiahemmet University in partnership with Capio Artro Clinic and Good to Great
It is a great pleasure for us at Sophiahemmet University to welcome you all to Stockholm, Sweden in October 2019.
The Society for Tennis Medicine & Science (STMS) has trusted us with hosting this World Congress on Swedish soil. Although, we cannot guarantee warm sunny weather, we promise you as congress participant a very warm welcome and support from conference hosts who will do everything in their power to make this an unforgettable event!
The theme for the STMS World Congress is ”Connecting Professions and Generations”.
In today’s fast-paced society with overwhelming information it is more important than ever before that we slow down, interact, communicate and share knowledge/experiences between different experts and ages in order to support the tennis society in general and the individual tennis player specifically.
We hope that you will find the program as exciting as we do and please tweet about the different symposiums to colleagues in the world of tennis and sports medicine.
The program on Friday the 18th will consist of two big symposiums covering the shoulder and spine, in addition the day also includes special guest and key note lectures. On Saturday the 19th the program starts off with a wake-up call in the morning and during the day there will be key note lectures, special guest lectures and break-out sessions to further enhance the knowledge in tennis and sports medicine!
