AFC Bournemouth's聽 first team Physiotherapist, Jonny King,聽visited 正澳门六合彩资料鈥檚 Lansdowne campus to teach first year students about foot and ankle injuries with a day of intensive seminar and exercise sessions which saw students assessing and analysing a range of scenarios.聽
Led by BU lecturer Dr Osman Ahmed, Physiotherapist for the Paralympic Cerebral Palsy England squad, the first year unit聽looks at developing knowledge of normal human movement, biomechanics and movement analysis.
Dr Ahmed, who leads the unit, said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e really lucky to have Jonny King from AFC Bournemouth with us today. He鈥檚 teaching about the foot and ankle as part of our first year unit, called Exercise, Movement and Rehabilitation. The nice thing about today鈥檚 lecture with Jonny is that he鈥檚 made a lot of references back to his clinical work as well so that his students can see some real-life examples with real-life football players that they may well already know of, so it鈥檚 been a really good session.鈥�
Jonny, who first began at AFC Bournemouth in 2012 after previously working as an Academy Physiotherapist at Norwich City Football Club, began his career at Norfolk and Norwich University NHS Trust as a Junior Physiotherapist, where he worked across departments including respiratory care, neurology, intensive care, and the spinal unit.
In teaching the students, Jonny said: 鈥淚n the sports field, you won鈥檛 just see sports injuries; you鈥檒l see all sorts of weird and wonderful conditions 鈥� if you鈥檝e got a good foundation of knowledge in all areas of physio, it鈥檚 really important.
鈥淥ne thing we touched on in the morning with students was the importance of technology and how it helps us as clinicians to make important decisions, an example being video replays, which are useful to sports physios in helping diagnose injuries.
He added: 鈥淚 always say to students that are graduating from the physio course to build a good foundation of knowledge in all different fields of physiotherapy. It was something that was really important for me. The students have been really interactive and are all good at sharing ideas, which we encourage to be really transparent. At this stage of their careers and in progressing as a physio, it鈥檚 just about asking questions, however silly they may be.鈥�
