During this time, she also completed UK-accredited certifications in myofascial release, kinesiology tapping, Dry Needling, cupping, manual therapy; Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM), neurodynamic solution and pain biomechanics.
Pooja also worked with under-16 Badminton and under-16 Tennis tournaments. She assessed and treated acute and chronic injuries with critical thinking and sound clinical reasoning, preventing further complications and injuries.
Later, Pooja operated in a multi-disciplinary sports clinic for a year under Dr Rizwan Khan, a head Sports Physician who has worked with elite cricket players. This opened a window into learning more about one of her favourite sports – Cricket!
Additionally, the clinic had a tie-up with marathon sponsors and thus had high runners cases. Pooja created programs and systematic management plans to get the athletes back on their feet as quickly as possible.
Pooja also gained experience with JSW Squash Open, a three-day event where she supported athletes with physical preparation and support for the competition.
Pooja is working on a CPD course in child protection in sports and physical activity, enabling her to identify, report, and record concerns with young athletes.
