Wed, 27 Jul 2011

Winter is with us and there are a few changes at GM Physiotherapy. We would like to take this opportunity to update our friends and colleagues on some of these changes within the clinic.

 

TEAM UPDATE

Two members of the Galleria Morley team are leaving us this winter.  Our practice manager Cynthia and Rebecca, one of our remedial massage therapists will be moving on to face new challenges.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank both Cynthia and Rebecca for their contribution to the GM team.  They will be missed!

GM Physiotherapy welcomes a new physiotherapist to the team.  Kenny Kessler graduated from Curtin University in 2010.  With previous experience working with a state premier league soccer club and in geriatric rehabilitation, Kenny’s special interests include sporting injuries and post-operative rehabilitation.  Kenny has completed a clinical acupuncture course and is looking to complete real time ultrasound training.  He will be involved in both hydrotherapy and GM rehabilitation programs offered by GM Physiotherapy.


TEAM MEMBER PROFILE

Melissa Notte graduated with a diploma of remedial massage from Central Tafe.  She has worked extensively with several tri-athletes and has a keen interest in the relationship between pain and poor biomechanics. Her areas of interest are sports massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and pregnancies. Melissa also speaks Italian and her hobbies include Thai boxing and running.


SPORTS INJURY UPDATE – SHIN SPLINTS

Shin splints, or more accurately, medial tibial stress syndrome is a prevalent problem commonly treated by physiotherapists.  Shin splints are common in runners and those who play sports such as football, soccer, basketball and netball.  Shin splints are a result of repetitive, excessive forces being placed on the muscles and connective tissue connecting to the shin bone.  Common treatment for shin splints include ice, stretching, soft tissue mobilization, acupuncture, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and most importantly identifying and correcting biomechanical issues.


GM SPORTING CLUB UPDATE

GM Physiotherapy proudly supports sporting clubs within the local community.  The GM team provides and educates sport trainers for our affiliated clubs.  Our physiotherapists also provide   sport injury prevention, management and rehabilitation services to the players and staff. 

Having a difficult season, Noranda ECU Football Club is currently 8th in the WAAFL after 14 rounds. 

Noranda Netball finished the season placing 6th in the Smarter than Smoking Championship Open Division 3.  With two wins and four losses, the girls will be looking to improve on their performances next season.

Perth Bayswater Rugby Club is placing 9th in the KWIK Premier Grade Rugby WA Competition. 

International Calcios Football Club is currently 5th in the Division 1 My Solar Sunday League.


COMMUNITY AND ABROAD

GM Physiotherapy sponsors Duquerman Geovanny Renteria through World Vision Australia.  Duquerman was born in 2002 in Ecuador, South America.  He lives with his mother along with six brothers and two sisters.  He loves playing ball games and enjoys mathematics at school.  For more information about how you can sponsor a child, or simply donate visit www.worldvision.com.au. 


UPCOMING EVENTS

WA’s largest community sporting event, the City to Surf is fast approaching.  Held on the 29th August, the City to Surf has different categories which include a 42 km marathon, half marathon, 12 km run or walk and 4km wheelchair, run or walk.  That means everyone can have a go, whether you’re an elite marathon runner or a weekend casual walker. 

GM Physiotherapy has registered a team for the 2011 City to Surf and is aiming to fundraise for Activ.  Activ is one of WA’s leading community benefit organizations, providing services and supporting people with a developmental disability. 

Any donations to the GM team in support for Activ are greatly appreciated!
