World Uni Games – Naples

Toby is back on deck again at the clinic after returning from Naples in Italy with the Australian Swimming Team for the past three weeks.

Toby worked as a part of the support team for the duration of the meet, which included sports science, sports medicine, coaches, management staff and about 26 swimmers.

A very cool looking warm up pool.

The event was quite the unique set up with the athlete’s village for all countries being two large cruise ships that were docked for the duration of the games.

The breakfast view of Mount Vesuvius from the deck on the athlete’s village cruise ship.

This was easily the best backdrop for providing sports massage tour support so far, but hopefully, this gets challenged later on this year in Switzerland for the WTS Grand Final with Triathlon.

Confirmation for Tokyo 2020 Olympics

Toby has been selected to be a part of the Australian Team medical headquarters team that will head across to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics to support our Australian team next year.

Very similar to the headquarters team that he was a part of for the Commonwealth Games last year, the team will be made up of a combination of sports medicine professionals from across the country.

There are eight soft tissue therapists within the team, all with various backgrounds from Remedial Massage, Soft Tissue Therapists & Sports Myotherapists.

Until then there is plenty of work to be done both locally and internationally for our athletes qualifying and preparing for their biggest event on the calendar.

Bring it on!

Upcoming Thailand Tour with Triathlon

I will be on tour with the VIS Triathlon program from 29/5/2016 through to 13/7/2016 providing tour support from their heat acclimatisation training base in Thailand.

Over this period, there will be no bookings taken at SportsMyo in South Melbourne.

If you require treatment for a specific injury or some maintenance work to coincide with a heavy training block or the lead into a race, I will still be contactable via email and can put you in touch with another suitable allied health professional from my network and will get in touch with them to bring them up to speed with your treatment at the clinic at SportsMyo.

Note: Picture above is highly unlikely to be actual accomodation for tour.

Upon returning to Australia in July, I will be opening up the Monday afternoon at the clinic for the remainder of 2016.

Bookings are still available up till departure, so feel free to book online here for the coming weeks; otherwise, if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email at toby@sportsmyo.com.au

Cheers,

Toby
