Altaira hosts personal development session at Payneham Swimming Club
To celebrate the end the winter season for Payneham Swimming Club, Altaira Allied Health recently hosted a personal development session for the junior performance swimmers (aged 10-16). Altaira Allied Health has been a committed supporter of the swimming club, and this partnership has taken huge steps forward with personal development sessions.
Organised by Altaira Allied Health, the PD session was a significant event for the Payneham Swimming Club. Held at the St. Peter’s Boys Swimming Pool, the event featured two one-hour sessions led by Altaira Allied Health’s outstanding physiotherapist, Michael.
The first session was physiotherapy and nutrition, which was for the development squads. The focus for this session was to discuss the importance self-assessment and injury prevention. Michael ran through a series of assessments specifically designed to detect pain, assisted with technique as required, and demonstrated exercises for the young swimmers to use to strengthen their muscles. Each participant was even given a gift bag to commemorate their efforts!
There were some key takeaways for the swimmers after the personal development day, including the fact that swimmers are a lot more prone to shoulder injuries and that keeping a good stretching routine makes a huge difference in injury prevention. Prevention is better than the cure!
Altaira Allied Health was proud to be hosting the personal development session for Payneham Swimming Club. It showcased the commitment of Altaira Allied Health to the local community and their dedication to supporting young athletes in reaching their full potential. Michael provided invaluable insights to the swimmers, and now they are better equipped to excel. This day is a shining example of how health professionals can make a meaningful difference in the world of sports.
