The Foundation Course in Sports Physiotherapy is an essential training program designed to introduce physiotherapy students, interns, and early-career practitioners to the core principles, clinical practices, and professional responsibilities of working within the field of sports physiotherapy. Built upon a strong academic framework and enriched with practical application, this course lays the groundwork for a successful and confident transition into sports-specific physiotherapy.
This foundational course offers an in-depth look into the unique demands of athletic populations, the biomechanics of sport, and the mechanisms of injury across various sports disciplines. Participants will gain a solid understanding of how to assess, treat, and support injured athletes through every stage of care—from initial evaluation and treatment to rehabilitation and return-to-play.
Course modules include:
Introduction to sports injury epidemiology and prevention strategies
ODE TO CRUTCHES
I had a knee replacement so I needed help
I could not walk safely by myself
So, I was given two sturdy crutches
And once I got them in my clutches
I walked here and there and everywhere
With more confidence but a bit of care
With physio my knee grew stronger
Two crutches I needed no longer
So, I progressed to just using one
My recovery had begun
I exercised at home and did physio at Westmead
I was very keen to succeed
To cut a very long story short
I am very happy to report
They helped me a lot but now that I’m stronger
I do not need crutches any longer
I have a long way to go
It won’t be easy, that I know
Thank you to all the people that help me every day
With their support and encouragement I know I will be okay.
Surgical operation, physiotherapy,
exercise and painkillers
(I hate every pill, they make me dizzy)
Neuropathic pain can be
violent and incomprehensible
It is subjective and personal,
an emotional experience
A short time of pain we can accept
Pain that lasts a long time
makes everyday life complicated
But it goes a little better every day

Shock horror Parkinson’s
Grab this fate and run
Medication, Physiotherapy, great fun
Messing with my mind, Mr. P digs in
The chase is on to kill and not let him win
Voice down and
hoarse
Voice therapy of course
Going stiff and pain everywhere
My minds about to blow
Joined SLTPD my life started to glow
Help and friends, a positive I must say
Makes MR P so angry, I am winning every day.
