People
recovering from sports injuries can benefit from a new injury and
rehabilitation clinic at the University of Northampton.

The Sports
Injury and Rehabilitation Clinic (SIRC) is open to the public, University of
Northampton staff and students – and you can now book your appointment online.

The clinic
provides people with effective and affordable healthcare from students on the
University’s Sport Rehabilitation and Conditioning degree, who are overseen by
a fully-qualified clinic supervisor to ensure that safe and professional
standards and practice is maintained.

Brendon
Skinner, Senior Lecturer in Sport Rehabilitation and Conditioning, said: “We
are delighted to be opening our on-campus clinic and being able to provide
healthcare services to our students, staff and the wider community of
Northamptonshire.

“We look
forward to offering people access to healthcare services at an affordable
price, while providing our students with an environment to learn and develop
into the next generation of graduate sport rehabilitators.”

The
students are trained in delivering treatment including: injury assessments,
manual therapy, joint mobilisations, stretching, exercise rehabilitation,
taping, electrotherapies and sports massage.

The
clinic provides services to help a range of sporting and every day
musculoskeletal conditions, injuries and complaints.

Services

massage, exercise rehabilitation and recovery sessions.
