Polyclinic goes Live!
Excitement and energy were in the air today in the Vancouver Olympic Village, where we officially opened our doors to welcome the Olympic Athletes from around the world! This morning the sun glistened over downtown Vancouver and accross the water, adding a magic glow to the ribbon cutting ceremony. The Polyclinic is fully operational and staffed 24 hours a day with health care professionals. Services available to the Athletes and Olympic family include Sports and Emergency medicine, Imaging, Dentistry, Pharmacy services, and of course Therapy services. Our Therapy team includes 9 Physiotherapists, 5 Chiropractors, and 11 Massage therapist all working various shifts over the next month. We have been fantastically equipped with world class modalities, exercise equipment, and a bracing clinic. Also located in the fitness centre is a supervised Recovery and Regeneration area – which includes both hot and cold tubs, massage tables and stretching areas for the athletes to use individually or as a team. We’ve seen our first couple of patients this morning, and we’re all getting ready for a very busy couple of weeks ahead!
