MSG has plans for top sports and exercise medical centre
THE Medical Specialist Group is looking to develop a sports and exercise medicine centre of excellence, using leading specialist physiotherapist Jim Marshall, pictured,who has just joined the group, alongside its four orthopaedic consultants.
Mr Marshall has joined the group from First Contact Health, where he was clinical director, with 30 years’ experience in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries.
He has worked with elite organisations to develop diagnostics and treatment for the most demanding of patients, including nine years at a senior level in the UK military and nine years in professional football.
He was also lead physiotherapist for Guernsey’s Commonwealth Games team in Birmingham last month and led the medical team for the previous Games in Australia in 2018.
‘I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with some exceptional physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons as well as with sports and exercise consultants in professional sport and elite services of the UK military.
‘This has made me passionate about helping people with orthopaedic and sports injuries, developing treatment plans based on their individual needs,’ he said.
Orthopaedic consultant Chris Joslin added: ‘Jim has an excellent reputation on the island among patients, the sports community and GPs due to his expertise in sports and exercise and musculoskeletal medicine. We are very much looking forward to working with him as we develop the service together over the next 12 months to become a true centre of excellence for Guernsey.’
