Sports Massage Course and the London 2012 Games

A sports massage course offers a wide range of possibilities in the London 2012 games. The Olympic and Paralympics Games are truly inspirational and this really is a unique opportunity for sports massage practitioners to volunteer to be part of it and to promote the expertise available in the UK. Medical volunteers bring unique and special skills which will enable London to host a safe, successful and inspirational Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Volunteers at the Games Volunteers are at the core of the Games and essential to all the functional areas that make up this global festival of sport. Information about the recruitment of up to 70,000 volunteers will be found on www.london2012.com from summer 2010, but it will be worthwhile for interested sports massage practitioners to be aware of what might be expected of volunteers and whether they have the desire and attributes required to volunteer as a sports massage practitioner.

Olympic and Paralympic Medical Services There will be three Olympic and Paralympic Villages and five sites for the football venues (spread around Great Britain). The 26 sports will compete in 34 venues at the Olympics and 21 venues at the Paralympics. There will be 10,500 athletes at the Olympic Games and 4,200 athletes at the Paralympic Games coming from 205 and 147 countries respectively. The Olympic Games last for 17 days and the Paralympic Games for 11 days with each Games having a two week build up prior to the Opening Ceremony when medical services have to be provided; over two months in total.

Physical Therapy Services Physical therapy encompasses chiropractic, osteopathy, physiotherapy and sports massage. A physical therapy service will be provided at the main Polyclinic in the Olympic Village (in East London), at the smaller Polyclinics at Royal Holloway (rowing and canoeing) and Weymouth (sailing) as well as at all the competition venues and some training venues. Working within their scope of practice, sports massage practitioners will use their knowledge, skills and experience to provide pre-event and post-event sports massage services to athletes. It is essential that volunteers for sports massage are aware of the importance of working within an interdisciplinary team, of utilising the clinical judgements of others and of using referrals to other disciplines when necessary.

Depending on the sport and venue, some sports massage practitioners may be based in the Athlete Medical Centres at the competition venues. The sports massage practitioners within the Village Polyclinics will work closely with other medical professionals, including chiropractors, osteopaths and physiotherapists. The detailed provision of these services is already being planned by the Physical Therapy Work stream, led by Lynn Booth.

All short-listed applicants will be interviewed, and their skills and experience will determine success and help determine at which venues (or Polyclinic) they are most appropriately based. At LOCOG we are looking for sports massage practitioners with sport specific experience. Experience of looking after elite athletes will be of particular value. By identifying and selecting volunteers early, LOCOG will identify any potential gaps in sport specific cover or experience. Sports massage practitioners selected as volunteers have the chance to gain further relevant experience and arrange leave and cover from their employer well before the Games.

All sports massage practitioners will need to volunteer for at least ten days. It may be possible to divide this time into two 5 day periods, but not into any smaller units. Their time will need to be flexible to cover the busiest periods and variable competition schedule. Sports massage practitioners who can commit to more than the basic 10 days will be much appreciated. All volunteers will be expected to attend test events in 2011 and training days in the run up to the Games. There is no remuneration or honorarium for volunteers but they will receive a volunteer uniform, a meal when on duty and free local transport. Volunteers are expected to find and pay for their own accommodation whilst working at the Games.

Flower - One of the Most Important Parts of a Flowering Plant

You may not have thought about it, but in the plant kingdom, the flowers of the plants are important for their ability to reproduce. When pollination happens, the plants are able to reproduce. There are a few different ways that plants can be pollinated. In most cases, flowers are pollinated by the wind, birds, or other animals. The flowers are useful in this process because the scent and appearance of the flowers attract birds and insects that will pollinate the flowers.

Most people enjoy using flowers as a part of decoration, and this has been practiced for many centuries. There are many different places that flowers can be used as a part of the decor of an area. You will see flowers everywhere from homes, to businesses, to churches. Some people use flowers in order to make medicines as well as to incorporate into their religious practices.

There are several different parts that make up a flower. Flowers are typically found on the very end of stems. The green outermost part of the flower is called the calyx. This is where the bud of the flower is before it opens. The part that contains the petals of the flower is called the corolla. The innermost part of the flower is called the gynoecium, and this is where pollination takes place. The stem of the flower is responsible for ensuring that the flower receives water and nutrients. The stem works much like a straw does.

Plants are very different from animals because they have to use a different means in order to reproduce. Animals are able to move about in order to search for a mate, but this is not true for flowers. Instead, they have to attract birds and insects that will do the pollination for them. Flowers produce sweet substances in order to attract many birds and insects. While the bird is feeding on the sticky substance, it is assisting the flower to reproduce. There are some kinds of plants and flowers that use the wind to carry the pollen a distance; therefore, the plants do not need to depend on birds and insects.

There are some people that enjoy working with flowers so much that they strive to develop hybrid flowers. You may be wondering why this is a fun task for people. Cross-pollination means that these people are able to create flowers that are bigger and more beautiful than the original plants. You will typically see this done with roses.
