As Occupational Therapists at Perth Integrated Health
Clinic, we are interested in the performance enhancement of
athletes at the elite level. Consequently, we are interested
in providing care to swimmers.
We are already the treating practitioners for swimming
clubs at the state and national levels – Applecross,
Melville, Kalamunda , Aqua Attack, Southlake Dolphins and Western
Sprints Swimming Clubs. We work closely with the swimmers of these clubs,
as well as the parents and coaches.
The clubs
describe personal best times, qualify to the finals
and achieve national record times as one of the benefits
with the commencement of their swimmer’s
treatment at PIHC.
Anecdotes from swimmers, parents and coaches tell the story
of improved strength, symmetry, stroke technique and pace in
the swimmers. This is from those who have received neuro-muscular
care and who have taken part in Huber sessions. We as
treating practitioners have also seen improvements in the
swimmers over short periods of time, in terms of their neuro-muscular
balance and Huber function.
Huber can be used to imitate all of the swimming strokes.
Therefore, as well as improving strength, symmetry, core
stability and balance, we are using the Huber to enhance
stroke technique.
If you would like more information about Perth Integrated
Health Clinic and the Huber, or would like to make a visit
to the Clinic to see the Huber and how it can make a
positive impact on your swimming club, please contact:
