    Volunteering opportunities in physio?

    Taping
    Graduated in July, currently working at a private msk clinic and part time for a premier league team at academy level. Would quite like to do something voluntary outside of sport/msk since the football season is now over and i have some free time again. Any suggestions of places i can look or people i can ask? Just looking to broaden my scope a little bit really and do some neuro or something. Any help would be much appreciated

    Why therefore not ask to be a free physio assistant in the neuro department of your local hospital. A free pair of hands is usually more than welcome.

    I have been considering volunteering abroad. There are a number of companies I have found that can provide physio experiences.

    Re: Volunteering opportunities in physio?

    and pay someone to work for them? I've sent a couple of emails to special needs schools in my local area, figured that was a good enough place to start

    Re: Volunteering opportunities in physio?

    Hello - I live in Wadi Rum, Jordan - about an hour north of Aqaba on the Red Sea coast. The director of the Ministry of Social Development for the Aqaba region asked me for assistance in finding a volunteer physiotherapist to work in the special needs centers run in the region - one in Aqaba and another about an hour north in a Bedouin town called Quwayra. Unfortunately, the Ministry is unable to offer no support for a volunteer other than the work placement itself. If this position is of interest to you (or anyone you know), please feel free to e-mail me to discuss further at: [email protected]. Thanks and best, Alena Bartoli

    Re: Volunteering opportunities in physio?

    Must have Kinesiology Taping DVD
    Hi,

    I'm hoping this may be of interest to you....I have friend who fractured her ankle at christmas and is very poor and does not have access to the NHS - for various reasons she hasn't been able to access any physio that she so needs. I've been looking on her behalf for some possible physio for her that could be free of charge? Do get in touch if you'd like to know more.

    kind regards,
