UOW Sport and Exercise Therapy injury clinics

As part of the UOW Health and Performance Centre’s Musculoskeletal health services, the BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Therapy degree students are opening the doors to their sports injury clinic again this academic year.

The student-led sport and exercise therapy injury and rehabilitation clinics will start again from Monday 4 November and will run each week during term time. They’ll be based in the clinic rooms of the UOW Health and Performance Centre in the William Penny Brookes building (Walsall Campus).

There will be 3 injury clinics a week:

• Monday 4 pm – 7 pm
• Wednesday 2 pm – 5 pm
• Thursday 4 pm – 7 pm

These clinics are open to all staff, students and the general public – for anyone wanting treatment for acute injuries, long-standing issues or assessment of general discomfort. Each appointment costs £5 and lasts for 1 hour with the initial appointment being a full consultation and physical assessment of the issue.

Depending on the issue, we may apply a range of manual therapy techniques that will be supported with a robust exercise rehabilitation plan designed for your specific needs. Additional aftercare advice and education on how to care for your specific injury will also be provided to aid the management of your issue. Follow-up appointments are advised to help support you towards full recovery with a recommended transition into our exercise rehabilitation clinic as and when necessary.

A dedicated exercise rehabilitation clinic in the NEW health and performance centre will run on:

• Tuesday 4 – 6.30 pm

This clinic will be for those returning to normal function post-injury who require gym-based exercises in the progression of their rehabilitation. We take a holistic approach to rehabilitation; Your rehabilitation plan will strengthen the injured area and set key conditioning targets specific to your goals to help you return to normal daily living and/or sport.

You may also attend this clinic for injury prevention sessions to prevent common sports related injuries via a robust strength and conditioning plan designed to prevent future injury.
