Staying in the Game: Putting Knee Health Front and Centre
At Sulis Hospital, we believe that proactive education is a vital part of exceptional patient care. We were delighted to see such a strong turnout of active individuals at Cumberwell Park for our specialist seminar, "Preserve Your Knees & Protect Your Performance."
Following a relaxed reception, Mr Ben Lankester Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, delivered an insightful presentation on long-life joint health. Ben explored common sports-related knee conditions, key preventative measures and the advanced treatment pathways available at Sulis Hospital.
By sharing straightforward, specialist expertise, the event aimed to empower our guests with a deeper understanding of their joint health, helping them confidently choose the right approach for their individual physical needs.
Adding a crucial rehabilitative perspective to the evening, Jo Gotley, Specialist MSK Physiotherapist, shared valuable insights on the power of physical therapy. Jo Highlighted how targeted pre-operative conditioning and bespoke post-operative rehabilitation protocols are vital to achieving the best possible surgical outcomes, ensuring a safe and efficient return to peak performance.
A thoughtful Q&A rounded off the evening, with guests asking a range of questions about knee health, injury prevention and maintaining an active lifestyle.
The discussion explored everything from recognising early symptoms to practical steps that can help protect the knees and support long-term mobility and performance.
Guests left the event with a greater understanding of knee health and practical knowledge that they could take away and apply to their time on the golf course and everyday life.
Feedback from the evening was incredibly heartwarming, with guest Jonny commenting: "Very helpful and highly informative presentation. Well worthwhile attending, thank you to Sulis Hospital and to Mr Lankester and Jo Gotley for such a fascinating talk."
For those who missed the event, Sulis Hospital encourages continued engagement through appointments with the appropriate consultant specialist and future educational sessions.
