Carnegie Sports Injury Clinic
01132750606
Welcome
At CSIC we take a team approach to our work with athletes. The clinic is open plan with a private room attached and this enables us to easily call on our fellow physiotherapists for a second opinion or discussion of troublesome cases. We all have a high level of clinical skill, with a wide range of techniques and experience in working in a variety of sports, from the developmental to Olympic level.
We specialise in the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of sports injuries. We also offer a screening, prehabilitation and “MOT” service, with the aim of helping to prevent injury. Screening and prehabilitation identifies in an athlete areas of poor flexibility, strength or malalignment, all of which can affect performance and contribute to injury. Specific stretches, strengthening and training advice can then be given to the athlete.
Additionally, working closely with other professionals means we can easily cross refer when necessary, enabling us to do the best for each athlete. Within the sport centre we also have many high level coaches, in a variety of sports, to whom we can also refer for advice.

Claire O'Hara is going for Gold at the 2009 ICF World Championships
In 2007 Claire O’Hara won Silver in the world freestyle Championships in Canada and only just missed out on Gold.
Claire is now set for Switzerland in September. Claire has been competing for 7 years and been on the British team for 4years. Her dedication to her training has meant that she has put her career on hold so all her effort can go into winning gold for Great Britain. Due the fact that Kayaking is not an Olympic sport funding is a major issue for Claire and she relies on sponsorship, fund raising and individuals who support her development.
We will keep you posted on how Claire gets on in Thun, Switzerland 31st Aug- 6th September

On Camp With Kelly meets the Carnegie Sports Injuries Clinic
Leeds Metropolitan University and Carnegie proudly hosted On Camp With Kelly, on Thursday 18th September. Supported by Norwich Union, OCWK is an initiative run by Kelly Holmes to inspire, educate and mentor the next generation of middle distance athletes and their coaches. Since 2004, Kelly has carefully selected about forty five girls to join the scheme, and this was the first camp for boys only.
During the camps, the athletes undergo vigorous training, and attend talks on a variety of subjects to give them the tools to reach their goals. Carnegie Sports Performance Strength and Conditioning coach Keith Barker, and physiotherapists Alison Rose and Vicky Annis ran sessions on conditioning and drills for runners.
Rugby International Sam Jamieson, graduate trainee, and her team worked hard behind the scenes, enabling this event to run smoothly, coordinating events taking place in the pool, the gyms, on the track and in the classroom.
Education of coaches is vital for athletic achievement. Through Kelly and her holistic approach at the grass roots of the sport, these athletes will have a greater opportunity to realise their potential. Combining expertise and experience with the wisdom and enthusiasm of a champion, is something that will hopefully lead to improved athletic performance.
