Physiotherapy Service 2012 Senior Men
Welcome back to another season that is hopefully both enjoyable and successful for all Palm Beach players.
I would like to take a brief moment to explain how the Senior Men's physiotherapy service will be run this year, as it will be a bit different to 2011. The workload will be split between three trainers this year: Meg Forbes and Monique Corbett -final year Physiotherapy students and Exercise Science graduates, and Jasmine Roulstone -recent Exercise Science graduate with a keen interest in rehabilitation.
The basic roles and responsibilities of the trainers will closely resemble those of last year, with two trainers being available for injury assessment and management at Tuesday night training, and one on Thursday. Trainers will be present from this coming Tuesday (17th Jan). For those players requiring attention, especially taping, I would ask that you present to training at 6:00pm. This will help us have you ready to go at the beginning of the training session and will also allow us to spend more time with those requiring treatment. Priority will be given to players in the following order: taping, injury assessment / rehab interventions, massage.
Saturday games will be split between the three trainers. There may be disruptions to this routine throughout the year due to Physiotherapy placements for Meg and Monique. In this instance Sarge and / or Jess may be available to assist or alternative support will be organized with other Physiotherapy students / sports trainers.
We are hoping to provide you with an efficient and effective physiotherapy service. If any of you have any suggestions and / or feedback now or throughout the season, please don’t hesitate to contact us so that together we can achieve this goal. I would also like to remind all players not to help themselves to any medical supplies including tape. Just ask one of the trainers if you require anything and we will be more than happy to assist you.
Looking forward to another great season. See you on the field.
Meg J
