Australian physiotherapist Jeremy Hunt conducted a special physiotherapy workshop and lecture, as part of Salgaocar FC’s ongoing ‘community outreach programme’ at Chicalim panchayat ground,
on Sunday.
Hunt, who has completed his Masters degree in Physiotherapy and Allied Medical Sciences from the University of South Australia, is a member of the Australian Physiotherapy Association.
“Physiotherapy is an integral part of a player’s life. Any kind of muscle stress and pain can be dealt with ease through such therapy. A little bit of joint exercise daily can solve a lot of our body problems and relieve body stress too,” said Hunt, who has integrated his experience as a former professional dancer and Pilates instructor with Physiotherapy methodology to combine methodologies from all these fields to improve musculoskeletal health and injury prevention.
Hunt spoke to the parents and the children about the science behind Physiotherapy and also demonstrated few exercises that would help strengthen them for a pain-free life.
Hunt’s Physiotherapy and Pilates approach is based on a collaborative effort with
the client.
“I strongly believe that determining the environmental and biomechanical causes, along with the anatomical or pathological source is key to forming a diagnosis. A management plan is formed with client involvement and with the goal of full resolution (where possible), or forming a self management strategy,” he explained.
