“Injuries due to overuse are often the biggest challenge.” – Jo Verschueren –
J
o Verschueren is a doctoral student at the Human
Physiology research group, Faculty of LK at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and is also coordinator of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy - Sports Physiotherapy option. In addition, he has gained experience as a physiotherapist in top-level sports with the national volleyball and hockey teams. His research focuses on (1) the effects of fatigue on the injury risk profile in the context of sports injury prevention; and (2) the effects of (sports) injuries on the brain and the interactions with fatigue in the context of rehabilitation and return-to-sport. He also still works as a self-employed sport physiotherapist to stay in touch with the clinical practice side of it. He is definitely the right man to introduce us to the world of injury treatment and prevention.
