Our
Student-Led Therapy Service was in full swing again with another packed clinic.
We
are lucky enough to have the support of Jimmy Egan’s Boxing Academy with mnay of their Fighters receiving treatment to keep them tip top for getting in the Ring.
We
have a mix of both Physiotherapy and Sports Rehabilitation Students.
The
Clinic Runs ONLY on Wednesday afternoons at the Manchester Institute of Health & Performance, M11 2AZ.

University of Salford Physiotherapy department have a service that is run

We are so
proud of Zelfa “Flash” Barrett for winning his fight last weekend and returning
to what he does best, Boxing.
Zelfa came to
the Student-Led Therapy Service at the MIHP for rehabilitation after Achilles
surgery.
As Zelfa was
the first professional athlete that the service had treated we made sure that
all students were carefully supervised by their Physiotherapy Lecturer, Dale
Walker.
Working with professional
Boxers is an amazing experience for the Students.
Zelfa gets fantastic Physiotherapy treatment, the Students get an amazing experience and the MIHP provides state of the art facilities.
Physiotherapy is only a small part of the Athletes Rehabilitation journey.
The MIHP continues to perform fitness testing and measurement of key performance indicators as athletes progress.
This is a win, win, win situation.
After the rehabilitation was complete Zelfa kindly invited us to attend his first fight back at Oldham Leisure Centre.
Which he of course won.
There is no better feeling for a Physiotherapist than knowing you have played your part in the amazing TEAM that athletes require for optimal performance.
The Student-Led Therapy Service is a
combination of both Physiotherapy and Sports Rehabilitation students from the
University of Salford.
The students gain from this valuable experience
by treating REAL patients allowing them to practically apply their knowledge
from the University Teaching.
Their Physiotherapy lecturer Dale Walker runs
the clinic and is there for guidance and advice.
