The Event
What is Therapy Live 2027?
The next chapter in the Therapy Live journey: a hybrid MSK congress delivered by Physio First and Physio Matters in partnership. The live room is at the heart of the event: hundreds of clinicians gathering for main-stage debate, focused workshops, networking and exhibition, with the main-stage conversation streamed online to thousands more.
Where and when is it?
Friday 23 and Saturday 24 April 2027 at The Lowry Hotel, Manchester (M3 5LH).
Is it an in-person event or an online event?
Both. The full Therapy Live experience is in person; the online stream covers the main stage for those who can't make it to Manchester.
Who is Therapy Live for?
Clinicians working in MSK care who want to think harder, practise better and help move the profession forward: physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports therapists, rehab professionals, advanced practitioners, service leads, clinic owners, educators and researchers.
What will the programme include?
Main-room sessions on the defining questions in MSK care (diagnostic specificity, pain, AI and technology, OA and ageing, modern spinal care, tendinopathy and advanced practice), with focused workshops in The Rehab Room, The Hands-On Hub, Business Class and Tech Track.
How will the main-room sessions work?
Short, sharp and discussion-led. A moderator sets the scene, three speakers each offer a brief take, and the rest of the session is panel discussion, audience questions and Slido contributions from the room. Not passive lectures.
How will the workshops work?
After each main-room session, delegates move into focused workshop spaces that take the main-stage ideas and explore what they mean in practice. Anyone can do parallel streams.
I attended previous Therapy Live events. Is this the same format?
No. 2027 builds on the history of the online events but moves the journey forward: a hybrid congress with the live room at the centre and streaming extending the reach.
Tickets
How do I book?
Tickets are on sale now through Ticket Tailor. Book your place. Free, online and in-person tickets are all available through the booking page. In-person places are limited, so book early.
What does the free ticket include?
Live access to selected keynote sessions from the main stage, streamed at no cost. It is a taste of the congress rather than the full programme: the complete streamed experience is the online ticket, and the full Therapy Live experience is in the room.
What is the difference between the free and online tickets?
The free ticket streams selected keynotes only. The online ticket is the complete streamed congress: every main-stage session across both days, Slido interaction with the room and a CPD certificate.
Will there be early-bird tickets?
Early booking options and current pricing are shown on the booking page.
Can I transfer my ticket if I can no longer attend?
Transfer terms are shown at the point of booking. We know diaries change, so we aim to keep the process clear and fair.
Can I get a refund?
Refund terms are listed clearly at the point of booking. Please check them before purchasing.
Will I get a CPD certificate?
Yes, for both in-person and online attendance. Details of certificates and CPD hours will be confirmed when the final programme is published.
In Person
Why should I attend in person?
Because this is where the road is set. In-person delegates are part of the main-room discussions, the workshop streams, the networking, the exhibition and every conversation between sessions.
Can I choose which workshops I attend?
Yes, from the available streams, subject to room capacity. Workshop selection details will be shared once the full programme is confirmed.
Will food and drink be included?
Yes. Food and refreshments are included with in-person tickets. Full catering details will be confirmed with the ticket packages.
Will there be networking?
Yes, it is one of the main reasons to be in the room. The live event is designed around discussion and connection, including an evening networking event, with the conversations continuing well beyond the formal sessions.
Online
What does the online ticket include?
Live access to the streamed main-stage sessions, designed for those who can't make it to the venue. Workshops, exhibition and networking are built around the in-person experience.
Will sessions be recorded?
We intend to record the main-stage sessions and make selected content available after the event. Post-event access details will be confirmed closer to the congress.
Will Therapy Live still be accessible?
Widening access has always been the point. The hybrid format prioritises the live room while extending the main stage online. If you have specific accessibility requirements in person or online, contact the team when booking.
Partners & Exhibitors
Will there be exhibitors and sponsors?
Yes. Therapy Live 2027 will include an exhibition and commercial partners, but the event remains committed to meaningful education over gadgets and gimmicks. We want partners who add value to the journey.
Can my organisation sponsor or exhibit?
Yes. Sponsorship and exhibition opportunities are available. Contact the Therapy Live team to talk about partnering.
