THE Guyana Physical Therapy Association, in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health and the Department of Sport, Region Six, hosted a Sports Medicine Seminar last Friday in New Amsterdam at the Regional Democratic Office.

Over 20 coaches, drawn from across Region 6 and various sporting disciplines, attended
Ariane Mangar, president of the Guyana Physical Therapy Association, in her welcome remarks said that physical therapists have a key role in helping people with long-term conditions to achieve their goals, fulfil their potentials and participate fully in society and sports.
The first sports medicine seminar was held in Georgetown last year and, with the aim of ensuring that its message is not centralised, the association journeyed to the Ancient County.
Regional Chairman David Armogan, who was invited to give the opening remarks, highlighted the importance of the physical therapist and the knowledge of sports medicine for coaches, since the world is evolving and sport is becoming more commercialised where successful sports men and women are now being paid more for plying their trade.
Presenters at the seminar were: Akil Raghunandan PT, Beverly Nelson Sports PT, Melissa Corlette PT, Jason Johnny PT, Ariane Mangar PT and Abigail Caleb, Nutritionist.
