Update from the Commonwealth Games

The last few days have been action packed with the Commonwealth Games now in full swing. The Medical Headquarters Team, which I am a part of,  were fortunate to be able to march in the opening ceremony. This was a truly amazing experience and an absolute honour and privilege.
There have been so many amazing experiences already at these games and it’s only day 5 with many more to come.

Physiotherapists for the NSW Swifts

A goal in the final seconds from the Waikatao Bay of Plenty Magic ended the NSW Swifts 2014 finals campaign in a nail biting 50-49 sudden dealth semi final encounter. Although not the finish the NSW Swifts had hoped for, it was the first finals appearance for the NSW Swifts since 2011. With six new players in the team and a new coaching line-up, the NSW Swifts have improved significantly and are already looking forward to coming back even stronger in the 2015 ANZ Championship season.

World Championships with the Australian Gems

In July 2013, physiotherapist Paula Peralta from our Penrith rooms joined the Australian Under 19’s women’s basketball team (Gems) and headed to Europe for World Championships. This was the final stages of a 2 year journey with numerous camps and a few tours. The Australian Gems had not medalled in 16 years so it was to be an arduous task.
