- Cycling -An
innovative and unique way of introducing health & fitness,
the Perth Integrated Health Clinic leads the way once again
with the creation of a Cycling club with a difference.
Cycling is now regarded as the new millennium sport as golf
was in the previous and the uptake by many in the corporate
and executive sector has been encouraging.
The PIHC Cycling Courses.
- Golf -
PIHC Director Ian Wee has been involved with the
treatment of golfers for the past 15 years. Apart from his
involvement with the game at a personal level, he has been
associated with the treatment of golfers at the professional
and amateur level, golf clubs and corporate golf days. Ian
combines his extensive clinical experience to that of the
game incorporating the essence of golf biomechanics in his
treatment of golfers. Those who wish to learn more about how
biomechanical symmetry and spinal muscular balance can
enhance their game of golf are encouraged to make an
appointment with him.

Gymnastics -
PIHC has developed an excellent relationship with the
Northern Districts Gymnastics Club over the past 9 months.
Many of the international and national level gymnasts have
received care at PIHC for not only acute injuries and
preventative care, but also for performance enhancement
through Huber treatment. Whilst also acknowledging the
spirit and discipline of many of the gymnasts treated at
PIHC, often training more than 20 hours per week amongst
their schooling and family commitments, PIHC also recognises
the support and encouragement from coaches and parents. PIHC
practitioners have been lucky enough to be invited to attend
many of the gymnast’s competitions and support NDGC in these
often stressful events.

Swimming -
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 three swimming
clubs – Kalamunda Swimming Club, Aqua Attack and Western
Sprints. We work closely with the swimmers of these clubs,
as well as the parents and coaches.
In the recent State Championships 2007, we saw swimmers from
all of these clubs swim personal best times, qualify to the
finals and achieve national record times. The clubs
described the State Championships 2007 as one of the best
ever, coinciding 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:

Pole Walking -
PIHC is again leading the way in health and wellbeing by
introducing the unique and beneficial sport of “pole
walking.” Originally conceived in Finland in the 1930’s as a
summer fitness regime for cross country skiers, pole walking
involves the use of lightweight, spike-tipped sticks which
resemble those used by skiers. The technique burns more
calories than regular walking and spreads weight over four
“feet” instead of two, offering increased stability and
taking pressure off sore points. Pole walking is used all
over the world by people from a range of ages, fitness
levels, medical and neuromuscular conditions. ...
