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."
MSc Sport Rehabilitation student Nik Boyadzhiev summarised
the day as “A very practical class, with a great focus on hands-on learning”. Kerrie
Mott (MSc Sport Rehabilitation) found inspiration from the CPD workshop: “It
has given me an insight into the physical demands of wheelchair sports, the
adaptations to injury rehabilitation whilst working with athletes, and most of
all how much enjoyment there is in wheelchair basketball as a sport. It has
opened my eyes to future career opportunities and ideas for my thesis project.”
