Reflections on the past: seeking gold standards for the future - 50 years of Physios in Sport
‘Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success’.

This year we celebrate our golden jubilee and are marking this with a celebratory social evening on 30th June in advance of a conference on 1 July entitled ‘Seeking Gold Standards’.

'Organised crime and drugs in sport': did they teach us about that in medical school?
I anticipated that my new role as Chief Medical Officer at the Australian Institute of Sport might be challenging. Little did I suspect however how soon the challenges would come and in what guise.

The impact of sport psychology education on the practice of physiotherapists
Sports injury can lead to negative psychological reactions such as frustration or depression and there is now a body of evidence which indicates that sport psychology intervention can benefit sports injury rehabilitation (Heaney, IJSEP 2006;4:67–80). It would, however, appear that physiotherapists are often not equipped to integrate sport psychology into rehabilitation. Generally research has shown that physiotherapists recognise the importance of psychological factors but lack the training to utilise sport psychology (Arvinen-Barrow et al. JSR 2007;16:111–121).
