Lausanne

Joint Congress Sport & Exercise Medicine Switzerland and Sportfisio

Welcome

What matters? Is it structure or is it function?

Following the success of the 1st joint congress between our two societies in 2018, we are pleased to invite you to a 2nd meeting dedicated to sports & exercise medicine and physiotherapy. We invite you to explore the complexity of the human body through the dual lens of Structure and Function. This theme, central to our clinical practice and scientific inquiry, encourages us to reflect on the often-blurred boundaries between anatomy, biomechanics, and functional and athletic performance.

In sports medicine and physiotherapy, structure cannot be separated from function—and vice versa. Understanding how tissue alteration influences athletic movement is a key issue for optimizing the care of athletes.

Over the course of two days, renowned experts from a variety of disciplines will share their knowledge, clinical experience, and research in the field. Whether it’s about diagnosis, rehabilitation, surgery, or movement analysis, each presentation will contribute to a broader understanding of the sometimes dual, yet interconnected, dynamic between structure and function.

It is at the intersection of what can be measured and visualized (structure), and what the body is capable of doing or feeling (function), that the magic of health and performance can happen.

We look forward to welcoming you in Lausanne, the Olympic Capital, for this event that will once again strengthen our culture of interdisciplinarity, inquiry, and learning. For a complete team experience, don't miss our congress evening, where we will celebrate movement—together.

We already wish you an excellent joint SEMS and Sportfisio Congress 2025.
