At CSIC we take a team approach to our work with athletes. The clinic is open plan with a private room attached and this enables us to easily call on our fellow physiotherapists for a second opinion or discussion of troublesome cases. We all have a high level of clinical skill, with a wide range of techniques and experience in working in a variety of sports, from the developmental to Olympic level.
We specialise in the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of sports injuries. We also offer a screening, prehabilitation and “MOT” service, with the aim of helping to prevent injury. Screening and prehabilitation identifies in an athlete areas of poor flexibility, strength or malalignment, all of which can affect performance and contribute to injury. Specific stretches, strengthening and training advice can then be given to the athlete.
Additionally, working closely with other professionals means we can easily cross refer when necessary, enabling us to do the best for each athlete. Within the sport centre we also have many high level coaches, in a variety of sports, to whom we can also refer for advice.
Javelin
James Campbell took the UK javelin title with a second round throw of 74m. With this throw James became reigning national champion ahead of Mervyn Luckwell who finished 3rd. The Cheltenham athlete was pleased with the result
“That was consistent; I’ve had a really good start to the season. I’ve thrown over 76m three times in one competition already this season but I just haven’t got hold of one to qualify for Europeans. It’s always better to have other guys throwing far to push the standard. It’s nice to win but it’s a shame Mervyn wasn’t throwing to his full potential.UKA
