From toddlers to older people, from strapping footballers to ballet dancers, staff and students in Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) Allied Health Clinic in Albury are providing the latest treatments and assessment for troubled feet and lower limbs. Last year, CSU students treated over 6 500 patients.  CSU allied health students, under the supervision of highly qualified professional staff, treat conditions as varied as serious ulcers on the toes of adults with diabetes to correcting the ‘in-turned’ feet in toddlers using corrective boots, shoes and braces. On Tuesdays, occupational therapy students – and on Wednesday, physiotherapy students - join in the clinic to help treat musculoskeletal problems such as pains in the lower back, legs and feet, sports related and soft tissue injuries, assess wellness and advise on work related rehabilitation. Coordinator of CSU’s podiatry course, Associate Professor Paul Tinley, said the clinic provides important local rural health services as well as vital education for future podiatrists destined for practice around Australia and overseas. The CSU Allied Health Clinic is currently located on the corner of Guinea and Olive Streets in Albury, with plans to move the clinic onto the University’s site at Thurgoona in 2013. To arrange an appointment for assessment and treatment in the clinic, phone the reception at (02) 6051 9299.
