Proactive Physiotherapy... getting you better, faster

Don Perriman at the Asian Paralympic Games

December 2010

Don Perriman, our senior sports physiotherapist at the Mt Waverley clinic has just returned from Guangzhou, China – where he attended the Asian Paralympic Games. The Asian Paralympic Games are the largest event for athletes with a disability outside of the regular Paralympic Games.

Don attended in his position of President of classification for wheelchair basketball and was responsible for overseeing the classification of all wheelchair basket ballers participating at the games. With at least 12 teams taking part this involved assessing more than 120 athletes over the first 2 days, then watching them in competition for the next few days to ensure the correct classification has been assigned.

Don has been involved with wheelchair basketball for over 30 years, and is regarded as a world expert in the classification of players, regularly being invited to attend tournaments throughout the world to act in his capacity of Chief classifier.
