Bolton Sport Rehabilitation Students at the Wilmslow Half Marathon

Yesterday, Sunday 25th March was the Wilmslow Half Marathon, in aid of the David Lewis Charity.  Our students from the University of Bolton and a few from the University of Salford assisted one of our placement providers- Sport Med Physiotherapy Clinic, Stockport, in preparing the runners before the race with warm-up massage, and then getting the tightness and soreness out of their muscles afterwards too!  Congratulations to the race winner, completing in an excellent 65 minutes!

Year 2s off to Wigan Warriors RFLC

Our year 2 students are heading down to Wigan Warriors training ground later this afternoon to provide an in-depth sports massage and stretching recovery session along with the Warriors medical team.  Getting elbows and hands dug in to the first team squad's quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, calves and back is just one of the modalities that our students learn as part of their development in helping athletes recover, and keeping them fit and on the field.  More to come from these regular student volunteering experience opportunities.
