Twenty-one Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation undergraduate
and postgraduate students made effective use of their ‘reading week’ with some
additional CPD looking at Injury Management for Wheelchair Sports. Aaron
Blyth-Palk from Plymouth Raiders Wheelchair Basketball and Alfie Jones from the
Marjon Sport and Health Clinic ran workshops for the students who got a taste
of the demands of playing wheelchair basketball and a seminar looking at
important injuries and ways of taping and massaging wheelchair-bound athletes.
Jordan Pearce (MSc Sport Rehabilitation) described it as
"A fantastic experience that helped me realise how challenging wheelchair sports may be, giving me a good insight of sporting injuries that comes with wheelchair users."
