Wondering what our Physio’s have been up to?
If you’ve been in the clinic recently you may have noticed the absence of two of our Physio’s, Adam and Alex. We are happy to report they have both been busy training and competing to qualify for the 2016 Rio Olympics! Additional to this, our Physio Kevin has been assisting the preparation of two Brazilian athletes who are in Australia and New Zealand training and competing to qualify for the Rio games. Finally, our Physio Lucy has been competing, coaching and treating rowers at the Sydney International Rowing Regatta (SIRR) last March where she picked up a Bronze Medal! A busy few months for the clinic in terms of Sport!
Adam Imer:
Adam is currently training in Argentina with the Brazilian Hockey team. That’s right you read correctly; in a fortunate turn of events he is eligible to play for Brazil, against his home country. You can read more about this in an article posted in the Gold Coast Bulletin here (http://www.goldcoastbulletin.com.au/sport)

He will be back in the clinic on the 26th of April, 2016. If you would like to make an appointment with Adam you can call us (07 5532 0999) or book online.
Alex Beck:
Alex is back in the clinic today (Tuesday 5th of April) after picking up bronze at the Australian Athletics Championships in Sydney over the weekend (you can see the results here). Coming in behind Steve Solomon and Luke Stevens, Alex ran the 400m in 46.26 seconds! Amazing work! Just shy of the Olympic qualifying time of 45.40 seconds, however he can still qualify over the next few months leading up to the Olympic Games in August! We wish him the best of luck!

Kevin Wernli:
Brazilian triathletes Reinaldo Colucci and Danilo Pimentel are in Australia training and competing in their bid to qualify for Rio 2016. Our Physio Kevin has been assisting with their preparations to ensure their bodies are in top physical condition!

Lucy Ogden:
Lucy’s rowing squad (Brisbane and GPS Rowing) picked up a Bronze medal at the recent Sydney International Rowing Regatta. A fantastic achievement! Not only was she competing herself, but she was also coaching and occasionally required to treat fellow athletes and patients from the clinic in the competition. Good on you Lucy!

As you can see its been a very big few months in terms of sport for the clinic.
