Summary and reflection on the course

Dr Mary Magarey PhD FACP is a consultant specialist shoulder and elbow physiotherapist and senior lecturer teaching in the Masters programs in Manipulative, Sports and Orthopaedic Physiotherapy for the School of Physiotherapy, University of South Australia. Mary is internationally renowned and published for her research into aspects of shoulder examination and management. Mary is a Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists in two clinical fields; Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy (subspeciality: Shoulder complex disorders) and Sports Physiotherapy. Mary comments that her 2 fellowships of the Australian College of Physiotherapists provide her with greater depth of understanding of the evidence supporting advanced practice of sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapy and a higher level of clinical skills in these fields, thus allowing her to provide better depth of knowledge in her teaching. Apart from her passion for the shoulder - both in clinical practice and research, Mary is also interested in general sports physiotherapy - in particular the influence of motor control on sports performance, injury prevention and performance enhancement. She has been heavily involved with the sport of softball as a physiotherapist, fitness and conditioning coach, and injury prevention advisor over a number of years and has accompanied teams internationally. In 2009 Mary was awarded Life Membership of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia for services to the association over many years. This honour reflects the high regard the profession holds for her.
