Sport physiotherapist Jana Edghill hopes to continue working on a plan to elevate and expand the standard of practice in her field in the public sector and is doing so along with a team of sport physiotherapists now based at the National Sports Clinic and other parties.
“We have a great team at the clinic led by physiotherapist Vanessa Wickham, who accompanied our athletes at the recent Carifta Games in Grenada, that did so well. When you think about it, athletes pay a lot for assessments and therapies in other countries where the services are not easily accessible. Here it is free of cost. You just come in and we take a look at you,” Edghill told Stabroek Weekend in a recent interview.
“From the humble Castellani House, where we were prior to moving the clinic to the National Aquatic Centre, we have made a lot of strides and I am really happy to be a part of that. We have a lot of athletic talent in Guyana, yet to bloom, and if I have the kind of skills to get that talent to a next level, I want to help.”
