2026 Conference on 
Mechanisms of Force-Based​
​Manipulations

Advancing our understanding of neural and biomechanical mechanisms.
​A collaborative conference hosted jointly by NeuronS_MATTR, ForceNET, and SPINEWORK.  

Advancing Force-Based Research


We are excited to invite you to this collaborative conference seeking to disseminate knowledge to advance our understanding of neural and biomechanical mechanisms of force-based manipulations (FBMs).
FBMs refer to the passive application of mechanical force to the outside of the body with therapeutic intent, often as part of pain management care, rehabilitation care, or general wellness and disease prevention.
​​

Tentative Program
Keynote Speakers 
Renowned experts in mechanotransduction and pain science.
Scientific Talks Latest findings on FBM mechanisms.
Poster Sessions Interactive presentations of cutting-edge research.
