**TWO WEEKS TO GO!**

Our final speaker spotlight for the 33rd NHMI Fall Symposium features **Julie Keysor, PhD, PT** — and her sessions tackle a challenge every clinician encounters:

**How do we help people actually change their behavior?**

Dr. Keysor will lead two sessions focused on behavior change:

🔹 **Behavior Change: Foundational Principles**
Explore the theories, evidence, and conceptual frameworks that help us understand why people change — and why they sometimes don't.

🔹 **Behavior Change: Applications**
Take those principles into real-world scenarios, analyze behavioral needs, and begin developing outcomes for behavior-change strategies.

From rehabilitation adherence to health promotion, behavior change is an essential part of helping patients translate clinical recommendations into everyday life.

And with the Symposium now just **two weeks away**, there’s still time to join us for a full day of learning across musculoskeletal medicine, rehabilitation, sports medicine, and clinical practice.

📅 **October 17, 2026**
📍 **The Event Center | Nashua, NH**

**Two weeks. One full day of learning. One final speaker spotlight.**

ONE MONTH TO GO! 🎓

On October 17, we’ll gather in Nashua for the 33rd Annual NHMI Fall Symposium — and this year’s program offers more than a day of traditional lectures.

See the procedure.
Dr. Matthew Wilkening will demonstrate endoscopic spine surgery using a Sawbones model, bringing the anatomy, technique, indications, and rehabilitation considerations into the room.

See the anatomy.
NHMI members can also participate in an optional cadaver knee dissection workshop led by Scott Evans, PA-C — with an additional hour of CME.

These experiences are part of what makes the NHMI Fall Symposium different: current evidence, expert instruction, and opportunities to see clinical concepts come to life.

🎤 NHMI Fall Symposium Speaker Spotlight

Musculoskeletal medicine is evolving rapidly. Are your treatment strategies evolving with it?

From ultrasound-guided procedures to platelet-rich plasma therapies and evidence-based treatment of frozen shoulder, today's clinicians have more options than ever before. Knowing when—and how—to apply them is key.

At the 33rd NHMI Fall Symposium, Erek Latzka, MD, RMSK, will present three sessions exploring emerging techniques and current evidence that can help clinicians make more informed treatment decisions for their patients.

These presentations are designed to bridge research and real-world practice, giving attendees practical insights they can immediately incorporate into patient care.

If your goal is to stay current with advances in musculoskeletal medicine, Dr. Latzka's sessions belong on your schedule.

🎤 NHMI Fall Symposium Speaker Spotlight

Why do so many injury screening programs fail to predict who actually gets injured?

It's a question that challenges coaches, athletic trainers, physical therapists, and sports medicine professionals every day.

At the 33rd NHMI Fall Symposium, Joseph Janosky, DrPH, MSc, PT, ATC, of Lasell University School of Health Sciences Graduate Programs will challenge conventional thinking by examining why traditional screening methods often fall short—and how a more comprehensive approach to risk management may improve clinical decision-making.

His sessions will explore how multiple factors contribute to injury risk and how clinicians can build more meaningful health profiles to better support athletes throughout the season.

If you're looking to move beyond checklists and toward evidence-informed risk assessment, these presentations will offer practical insights you can take back to your team and your patients.

🎤 NHMI Fall Symposium Speaker Spotlight

When is an athlete truly ready to return to play?

It's one of the most important—and most difficult—questions in sports medicine. Time alone doesn't tell the whole story. Today's clinicians have access to objective tools that can reveal whether an athlete is truly prepared to return safely and confidently.

At the 33rd NHMI Fall Symposium, Shawn Cameron, MS, LAT, ATC, PES, of Boston Children's Hospital, will share how objective measurement strategies—including force plate testing and fixed-frame dynamometry—can strengthen clinical decision-making following ACL reconstruction.

Shawn will also explore why some traditional injury screening methods fall short and present research examining how mobility and relative strength assessments may help identify injury risk in high school baseball pitchers.

Whether you work with competitive athletes or active patients, you'll leave with practical, evidence-based strategies you can apply in your own practice.

For 33 years, NHMI has brought clinicians together to learn from experts, exchange ideas, and advance musculoskeletal care.
