President's Message
President’s Pen 15th May 2017
 
Last week’s speaker was David Spurrier who’s topic was “Keeping paralympic athletes fit”.
 
“David graduated in 1987 and worked at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. He started at Mitcham Rehab Clinic in 1988 and developed the Physiotherapy practice to provide a wide range of therapies associated with management of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
 
He completed a Master of Physiotherapy at UniSA in both Sports and Musculoskeletal physiotherapy in 1995 and has continued to lecture and tutor in this internationally recognised course on clinical exercise prescription, tendon and bone injuries, clinical pathophysiology and sports physiotherapy.
 
David has worked extensively with athletes at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) and the South Australian Sports Institute (SASI) and was a physiotherapist at the 1996 Melbourne Commonwealth Games and the past four Paralympic Games and is currently a team physiotherapist to Australian Swimming.
 
David has completed a Clinical Doctorate in Physiotherapy through La Trobe University and has a research interest on tendon, bone and children/adolescent injury.
 
Outside of the practice, David is busy managing several interests and maintaining his ageing fitness”.  The above information is an extract from his profile on Mitchamrehab.com.au
 
President’s thought for the week, “Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work”  Stephen King

Jokes Corner
Golf lesson
 
A schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson.
 
"Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor.
 
"P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."
