bsb medical
The 2008 season has seen
the introduction of physiotherapy services at the Medical Centre. This has
been set up and funded by the Chris Jones Riders Fund and is proving very
popular with riders and also, when time permits, marshals and other bsb personnel.
There have been a number of favourable comments, including "why didn't
we get this years ago?"
Very
much part of the whole medical team, the physios take part in the multidisciplinary
assessment and management of acute
musculoskeletal injuries and the aftermath.
The sort of conditions treated include
*
sprains
* fractures
* dislocations
* soft tissue bruising
* abrasions
They also can help
with advice on exercises, recovery from injuries and conditions such as 'arm
pump'.
