Physiotherapy Musculoskeletal Screening
Interested in sports and fitness? Tired of not performing to your full potential? Here’s how you can gain an edge…
Physiotherapy Musculoskeletal Screening is a proactive approach for athletes and sports enthusiasts to reduce the likelihood of injury, keep track of their progress in sports and maximise their training potential.
Our physiotherapist Joseph Maynard has worked with many athletes, football and rugby players, golfers, cyclists and many others, enabling his clients to return to exercise or take on new challenges in sports and fitness.
During the screening, Joseph thoroughly assesses posture, flexibility, strength and biomechanics through a series of clinical tests and observations of movement. His assessment includes running analysis, road bike analysis and biomechanical assessment of most sports using latest evidence and technology.
First Injury Prevention Clinic by Joseph Maynard
OHC physiotherapists – Nicola Guttormson, Mariam Mohyeddin and I – were privileged to be invited by lead coaches Omar Martinez and Trace Rogers, to present to members of the Go Strong triathlon team at the first injury prevention clinic. We delivered a two-hour presentation on the benefits of injury prevention and discussed common injuries sustained by triathletes and the best ways to manage them; essentials on bike fit and musculoskeletal screening programmes.
OHC and Go Strong Partner to Support UAE-based Athletes
The Osteopathic Health Centre is proud to announce its recent partnership with Go Strong.
Led by Head Coaches Omar and Trace, Go Strong is a triathlon hub where athletes can reach their maximum potential through responsible programmes and a family-friendly setting which promotes life balance through sport.
The Go Strong Tri coaches will pair up with OHC osteopaths and physiotherapists to share knowledge and take new initiatives. This synergy will help create the most complete programme for training and injury treatment/prevention available to athletes in the UAE.
Osteopathic Health Centre and Dubai Football Club Extend Partnership
Osteopathic Health Centre (OHC) has extended its partnership with the Dubai Football Club for the 2014/15 Dubai Amateur Football League (DAFL) season.
Dubai Football Club has been sending its players to OHC for treatment since 2010 and partnered with us in the 2012/13 season. OHC is a Dubai Football Club wide sponsor which sees every Dubai FC team sport the OHC logo on its shirts. Dubai FC’s second team also carries the OHC name.
OHC has provided Dubai FC with matchday support for key games. Dubai FC players consult with the talented OHC practitioners, in our three branches around Dubai: Umm Suqeim, Uptown Mirdiff and Dubai Healthcare City.
Nargis Raza, Director/Owner Osteopathic Health Centre, shared her views on the partnership, “We look forward to supporting Dubai FC by providing the best medical and rehabilitation support for injured players using all the relevant services that the OHC offers.”
Matt Rubin, Chairman of Dubai FC, said, “Our trusted practitioners at OHC have undertaken rehab and injury prevention work for hundreds of Dubai FC players. Lots of people will recommend physio services but you can’t be too careful in the UAE; there are so many sub-standard clinics and this slows down players getting back on the field and without injury prevention work, players can pick up more injuries. When you hear the same clinic – Osteopathic Health Centre – being mentioned time and time again by surgeons, patients and rehab professionals, I know that Dubai FC is partnering with the best practice in Dubai.”
