We would like to invite you to join us in October 2016 in Singapore for the 9th Interdisciplinary World Congress on Low Back & Pelvic Girdle Pain. Held every three years and attracting 1000 to a maximum of 1500 participants, it is the only truly multidisciplinary conference on lumbopelvic pain.

This global congress invites practitioners, academics, researchers and policy makers from all continents and from clinical areas as wide ranging as medicine, orthopedics, neuro-surgery, physiotherapy, chiropractic, biomechanics, osteopathy, manual therapy, exercise therapy, myotherapy, and sports medicine. The content of this educational program is determined by rigorous assessment, medical practice, literature and chart review. All programs so far presented have been accredited internationally and by all professional organizations endorsing the programs. 

This 4-day congress will be held between October 31 – November 03 2016 at the Marina Bay Sands, Expo and Convention Center, Singapore. The Hotel Marina Bay Sands has been chosen to be the headquarters for the 2016 congress.
