Physiotherapy Clinic Opens at Trent University |
||
A new physiotherapy and sports medicine clinic has opened within the P.S.B. Wilson Athletics Complex at Trent University. Health in Motion Physiotherapy and Sports Health Clinic took its first patient Wednesday – Tony Storey, director of Alumni Affairs. Registered physiotherapist Kylie Gibson is encouraging students, staff, faculty and members of the public to use Health in Motion's services. "We can help out with anything from a sprain or a strain to a fracture or dislocation. We can also help following joint replacement surgery," said Ms. Gibson. "We specialize with athletes but we can service all types of patients." This includes work-related injuries and injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents, she said. Bill Byrick, director of Athletics, says the clinic is a win-win partnership for Trent. "Here at Athletics, we want to encourage people to get fit and stay fit. The clinic provides the opportunity to help our students, staff and faculty as well as the public get consultation and treatment if they are injured, so they can heal quickly." Health in Motion will also cover all home and away varsity soccer and rugby games as well as all home varsity volleyball games. Lori Neill, who also owns the Peterborough Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic, won the tender to provide physiotherapy services at Trent. Health in Motion is open Monday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Wednesday and Friday 8 a.m. to noon. Ms. Gibson said those hours will eventually expand as Health in Motion takes on new patients.
