Every trainer, athlete, physician, or coach has dealt with the unfortunate experience of injury and its consequences — physical, mental, and emotional. But that doesn’t mean injury is inevitable. Session 2 of the 2022 CrossFit Health Virtual Conference will focus on challenging our assumptions regarding injury.
During this session, expert panelists will share tools to identify potential injuries before they occur, illustrate how to modify training in ways that reduce risk while maintaining performance, and educate attendees about how to respond to injuries that do occur with specific, targeted adjustments that preserve both short- and long-term health and well-being. You’ll hear from four of the most prominent, effective trainers and physicians in the CrossFit community, each of whom has spent years working with athletes across the entire spectrum of performance and ability.
Our speakers will also dive into the specific causes and frequency of injury in CrossFit and other athletic disciplines, and attendees will leave empowered to take greater initiative in reducing injury rates and risks.
In advance of the conference, on Thursday, Dec. 16 at 1 p.m. PT, Mike Giardina, CrossFit’s Senior Manager of Health Education, will host a live interview on the CrossFit Health Instagram with Kelly Starrett, DPT, to discuss CrossFit and injury. Kelly is a co-founder of San Francisco CrossFit and co-author of the New York Times bestseller “Becoming a Supple Leopard.”
The 2022 CrossFit Health Virtual Conference will bring together world-class experts in science, fitness, and healthcare for a series of lectures and panel discussions on ways to improve our health and quality of life. The Virtual Conference will take place on Friday, Jan. 21, and Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022.
