Local Physiotherapist Makes it to Olympics

Natalie Stephenson from Physio-Logical
will be supporting the Olympic Sailing
Team in Weymouth A physiotherapist from Havant will be taking her skills to the Olympics next year.

Natalie Stephenson runs Physio-logical providing physiotherapy and acupuncture services and has been picked to support the Olympic Sailing team based in Weymouth.

Natalie, 29, has been a physiotherapist for over eight years after graduating from Brunel University in 2003 and is one of a 200 strong team picked from over 1000 applicants.

Natalie told AboutMyArea, " I applied a year ago via my physiotherapy professional magazine and had an interview at London Excel in April. I attended a training day in November and was a physiotherapist at the Taekwondo test event in December."

Natalie added, "I am really excited to be part of London 2012 Olympics, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I am pleased I have been picked for the Sailing as I have treated a lot of sailors due to the location of my clinic and will be able to continue to help sailors with their injuries and get them back to sailing quickly."

The position is a voluntary role but Natalie feels that the opportunity is too good to miss and said, "It will give me the chance to work with top athletes, physios, sport medicine and doctors. I will be able to apply what I learn at the Olympics to my everyday clients to help get  them back to the activities they enjoy quickly."
