Player Information
Injuries and rehabilitation • If a student has a cricket injury (or any injury), he should see his parent, House matron or guardian in the first instance • A parent, guardian or Housematron shouldmake the initial appointment with a doctor or physiotherapist.MarionMeates is our in-house physiotherapist and I would encourage Christ’s College students to use this service. Marion runs her clinic in the bunker after school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 1–5.30pm. (Students who have sports injuries are not required to see a doctor first) • If a boy has a serious injury, he should attend the 24-hour emergency or A&E at the hospital. He can then book with Marion for follow-up care if required. If a boy requires immediate treatment, the manager, coach or a staff member will call an ambulance or transport the boy to the closest hospital. Parents, guardians and the boy’s House matron should then be informed • After Marion has diagnosed the problem, she will put together a rehabilitation programme that in many cases our strength and conditioning trainer will oversee. If the injury requires further diagnosis, Marion will refer the boy to a specialist. This will most likely be Dr Andrew Vincent, an Old Boy and orthopaedic specialist, who may be able to accelerate the scanning, diagnosis, care and recovery for our boys • Communication is vital, as an injured player should not continue to train or play unless cleared by Marion, his own physio or other medical professional • At the point of diagnosis,Marion will inform the boy, Housemaster and Kris Miller of the likely back-to- play plan. Contact Marion her on mobile – 021 066 7244, or email – marionmeates6@gmail.com
