Previous Presentations
Since 2024, The Lower Limb Conference has brought together podiatrists, physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, chiropractors, osteopaths, sports doctors and surgeons to present to a mixed room of lower limb clinicians. Every presenter is chosen for one reason: what they share can be applied clinically. Below is everyone who has presented at TLLC so far, grouped by the event they presented at.
