About the placement:
In Grenada, access to Sports Physiotherapy for athletes can be limited. You’ll have the opportunity to work with a range of athletes competing at local, national and international level and make a real difference to their health and performance in order for them to excel in their sport. The majority of your placement will be in a clinic based environment, working alongside experienced physiotherapists and sports specialists, observing and assisting in injury assessments, rehabilitation, and sports conditioning. This environment provides exposure to treating a range of sports-related injuries and developing treatment plans for athletes. You’ll also have the opportunity to work with teams and individuals in implementing injury prevention programmes and promoting it’s importance as well as providing pitchside support during training, matches and competitions.
Who you’ll treat:
This Grenada Physiotherapy clinic works from the National sports stadium and treats anyone from local athletes up to Olympic level athletes. It’s a very exciting time for Sport in Grenada with the national cricket stadium undergoing renovation. This will attract more athletes and international competitions, leading to the growth of Sports Physiotherapy around the island and you will have the opportunity to be part of this exciting project. Whether you’re looking to expand your clinical expertise or develop a global perspective on sports therapy and how this may differ from the UK, Grenada has everything to offer, and we provide the support and guidance you need to succeed.
