Wilmslow Half Marathon 2013

Sunday 24th March was the annual Wilmslow Half Marathon.  On of our clinical placement providers, Sport Med Physiotherapy Clinic, Stockport, provide the pre and post race massage support, with the help of our University of Bolton Sport Rehabilitation students.  On a freezing, wind-howling day the guys managed to raise £637 (about 125 massages!) for East Cheshire Hospice. Well done everyone!

Barnsley FC's SRB John Lucas Guest Speaker

Yesterday, John Lucas, Sport Rehabilitator at Barnsley FC delivered a guest lecture to our year 2 Injury Prevention & Functional Rehab group. He covered a muscle activation session he uses with his players, Kinesiology taping, and general rehabilitation, training and injury prevention sessions.  Really useful info....Thanks John!

 

 

 

Year 3 Dissertations nearly ready!

The year 3 students have their final week of preparing their dissertation projects.....that final rush will bring in some worthwhile research for the Sport Rehabilitation profession to benefit from. We are looking forward to all of the submissions (as much as the students are looking forward to finally completing it after a full year's slog!).  Well done in advance guys!

More student placement visits to Premier League, Championship and League Football clubs

Adam and Anna did the football rounds these last couple of weeks with visits to Wigan Athletic FC, Blackburn Rovers FC Academy, Tranmere Rovers FC and Stoke City FC to check on our year 3 students getting hands on and excellent experience with professional level football teams.  All doing great work and learning lots!!

Bolton Hill Marathon

The Bolton Hill Marathon was held for first ever today, with support of Stansfield Sports Injury Clinic in providing pre and post race massage at Moss Bank Park, Bolton.  Sport Rehabilitation students were there to brave the freezing cold and blustery winds in assisting Maria Stansfield with the massage.  Here's to helping again next year!

Meeting the Catalan Dragons

This morning, we caught up with the French Rugby League side, Catalan Dragons, a good morning's work in further boosting our Rugby League research in injury incidence. 

We visit Wolves for a change!

Anna and Adam headed over to Wolves training ground for another student placement visit, with one of our year 3 students gaining the fantastic experience in working with the medical team in a top Super League team.
