​World Masters Games

Thu May 4th 2017

World Masters Games

Roland Jeffery Physiotherapy was recently contracted to help with the World Masters Games in Auckland, which ran from the 21st – 30th April. The event runs every 4 years, the most recent in Turin, Italy with the 2021 version in Tokyo Japan.

The clinic was involved with football at QBE stadium and badminton at both Auckland and the North Harbour venues.

It was a huge undertaking with our clinic having to ask the help of two other clinics and up to 25 students, just to cover our events!!

There were over 3000 players at our venues, all in the master’s category, so you can imagine the amount of injuries and tired muscles and joints over the 10 days of competition.

Our team was inundated with injuries – some serious and other not so serious but our therapists managed to keep the clinic running and provide a great service for the World Masters Games’ players.

  • "If you are experiencing pain or discomfort when you're trying to enjoy playing football then don't put up with it. I have a passion for treating football injuries and would love to see you, I encourage you to book an appointment for a consultation today. I can help get you back playing pain free."

  • "Having experienced headache’s and neck pain myself I have become an expert at treating them. I have qualified with my post-graduate diploma in manipulative therapy, and love sorting out my client’s stiff and painful necks, helping them with their posture and returning them to work."

  • "As a fully qualified sonographer I spend all day scanning my client’s injuries. Our appointments take only 20 minutes and I feed back my findings directly to your physiotherapist or doctor. This helps them plan your injury management. Ask you physio today if you need an ultra sound scan to help with your injury."

  • "Having qualifications in Pilates, my goals with my clients are to restore their movement and strength. Our specialized equipment helps this in a fun and friendly way. RJ Physio has group classes and well as individual sessions, so we can tailor to your specific needs. Pilates can help return you to work, sports and reduce your pain and increase your performance. Call me today and I can discuss your Pilates options."
