After more than 40 years of caring for patients, Dr Roger Paterson will retire from surgical and clinical work at the end of July.

As one of the founding partners of sportsmed, Dr Paterson has played a key role in shaping who we are today. His dedication to patient care, research and education has made a lasting impact on our team and the wider community.

We’re so grateful for everything he’s contributed and wish him all the very best as he begins a new chapter in medico-legal work later this year.

Thank you, Dr Paterson 👏

Running More? Don’t Ignore Your Feet!

If you’ve increased your training load recently, your feet are working harder than ever—meaning a higher risk of injury. A few key tips to keep you running strong:

✔️ Check your shoes – Rotate between pairs & replace worn-out runners
✔️ Prioritise recovery – Sleep, stretch, and rest to avoid overuse injuries
✔️ Look after your feet – Blisters, soreness, and toenail issues can slow you down

If foot pain is slowing you down, our podiatrists can help! Contact our podiatry team today!

A strong contingent of our physios, exercise physiologists and strength & conditioning team attended the new SASI facilities at Mile End this week.

Our team attended a presentation on end stage rehabilitation for court sport athletes following an ACL reconstruction and were lucky enough to partake in the “on court” component of end stage rehab.

A shout out to Steve Van Diepen (SASI Strength & Conditioning Coach) and Tahla Brazel for taking their time to further educate our team.
