Alex Kountouris (former Alphington Sports Medicine physiotherapist), returned to ASMC to present to our clinicians....

It was Alphington Sports Medicine Clinic's great pleasure to host Alex Kountouris, as he took time out of his buys schedule with the Australian Cricket team to present on low back pain in professional athletes. Alex was a physiotherapist at Alphington before pursuing his cricket work full-time.....

Given the high number of low back injuries we see in this setting and especially given the prevalence of low back injuries seen in cricket from professional through to recreational level, Alex's presentation was especially prudent and topical to us at Alphington Sports Medicine.

Of late we have been lucky to hear some high quality professional development sessions at the clinic but to hear from one of professional sports top physiotherapists and someone we still very much consider part of the Alphington Sports Medicine family, was truly a pleasure. Alex's presentation on managing low back injuries in cricket was of the highest quality and generated great discussion and enthusiasm amongst our clinicians.

Thanks to Alex and we wish him luck with the Australian Cricket Team!
