RCRS Hosts International Workshop on Lower Limb Sports Injury Management

Rehman College of Rehabilitation Sciences (RCRS) on 19 January organised a one-day international workshop on the management of lower limb sports injuries.

The event brought together students, physiotherapists, and healthcare professionals for structured, hands-on learning. It aimed to strengthen practical skills and promote evidence-based approaches in sports rehabilitation.

The workshop was led by Dr Rasha Hossein, Senior Tutor at PrimePhysio in the United Kingdom and founder of Physio Flair Clinic. With extensive experience in musculoskeletal and sports rehabilitation, Dr Hossein delivered intensive sessions on contemporary assessment techniques, manual therapy, and dry needling.

Participants received training in identifying common causes and mechanisms of lower limb injuries. They also learned how to design targeted rehabilitation programmes and apply safe return-to-play criteria. Emphasis was placed on clinical decision-making informed by research, injury prevention, and strategies to minimise the risk of reinjury.

The programme included interactive demonstrations, practical exercises, and case discussions, allowing participants to apply their learning in real-world scenarios. Attendees were encouraged to actively engage, strengthening both their theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills.

The workshop also offered opportunities for professional networking, fostering collaboration among emerging healthcare professionals and experienced practitioners. Participants were awarded three continuing medical education (CME) hours in recognition of their dedication to advancing clinical expertise.

Supported by Ghani Physio and PrimePhysio, the initiative reflects RCRS’s commitment to promoting advanced rehabilitation practices in the region.

By combining international expertise with practical, evidence-based training, the workshop was a forward step for sports rehabilitation. Participants left equipped with the knowledge and skills to improve patient outcomes and contribute meaningfully to the field of physiotherapy.
