Luton lecturer Chris Salvary is providing sports massage to Team GB’s Paralympic football teams.
The University of Bedfordshire’s physical therapy and rehabilitation guru (pictured bottom right) will be on hand for the seven-a-side cerebral palsy and five-a-side blind teams.
She said: “We’ve found sports massage to be very beneficial. It helps improve muscle function and is very important to the players between matches.”
The blind footballers face Spain tomorrow (August 31) while the seven members of the cerebral palsy side battle Brazil on Saturday.
