Team Physio makes a splash in this year’s Corporate Rowing Challenge Burwood Physiotherapy, Older Persons Health and Rehabilitation (OPHR), entered a team of eight into this year's Corporate Rowing Challenge. After some bad luck catching a crab the Physiotherapy team rowed well to come fifth overall. Well done ‘Team Physio Canterbury DHB’. The event is a unique opportunity to support the local rowing community and be involved in an enjoyable and effective teamwork initiative, says Clinical Manager Physiotherapy Nicola Rooney.
The Physiotherapy team fundraised for the $1000 + GST per crew entry fee by holding a quiz night at The Elmwood Tavern, and the Avon and Canterbury Rowing clubs combined for the regatta, which was held recently at Kerrs Reach. If you are interested in taking part in the Corporate Rowing Challenge next year, there is more information on the Canterbury Rowing Club website.
“Avon Rowing club provides the coaches, boats, and heaps of encouragement. They taught everyone how to row an eight over four weeks and then we competed against other corporate teams in a round robin competition over 500m.”
