Commonwealth Games Physio VLOG - Intro

I've arrived in Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games 2022. I plan to bring you a daily vlog of my experience as a Physiotherapist at the games. I'll try and bring you as much as I can including my role as a Physio, the conditions I see and treat, the types of athletes and sports I support and the things I learn.
Stay tuned as I take you on this awesome journey!

Hello, will you be uploading more content from the Games?

[@danielbeckett5627]

Thank you for the insight, really looking forward to the content! What's the best route to take to work with athletes and in sports after finishing the degree? Is it realistic?

[@JamesArmstrongPhysio]

Thanks Daniel. So there are many different ways to get into it but it’s usually a case of finding a sport that you know and understand quite well then approach local team to offer support. I’ve been involved in athletics as a coach for over decade before I was even a Physio and played rugby when I was younger.
I was actually quite lucky as I was approached by a rugby team to work for them but that’s not the norm. I’d say get in touch with some local clubs and just get involved 👍
