DrSajeevkumar (5MO Marma) and I were posted at Yamuna Sports Complex and the events at this stadium were Table-Tenriis and Archery, with practice venues for Hockey and Swimming. 27th onwards we had to deal with the practicing athletes and their ailments. The event started on 3rd October and the athletes approached us for pre, post and inter-event management. We had been accommodated along with physiotherapists; this helped us to assess the conditions of athletes with modern parameters. We could also get familiar with the latest physio machines such as IFT with ultrasound machine, laser, deep wave diathermy, and also kinesiology techniques. Athletes utilised the services of both Ayurveda massage and physiotherapy. We had a good rapport with the physios Dr.Anitha Bharti and Dr. Ankur Mithal and had healthy discussion on different conditions of athletes. Our duty was divided in two shifts one from 8.30am to 2.00pm and other from 2.00pm to 10.30pm. During our volunteership we met with athletes, coaches and officials of different countries. About 60 persons were treated comprising all the categories. The team treated athletes and officials from Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, St:Vincent, Vanuatu, Guyana, Srilanka, Australia, South Africa, StLucia, Canada, Jamaica, and India, for different conditions such as shoulder pain, calf muscle pain, paraspinal pain, hamstring pain, neck pain -trapezius, scapular -rotator cuff, LBA, plantar fascitis, cervical region stiffness pain, knee joint pain, bicepital tendonitis, etc. The main challenge faced was that we had to provide relief to the subjects without internal medicines and also the results must be positive as the athletes had to participate in the event representing their country for winning a medal. Amie amo 2011 a 65rrynyhens aan The techniques of ayurveda, marma chikitsa, thirumoolar siddha marma therapy, kalari chikitsa, swedish massage, trigger point release techniques, reflexology, muscle stretching techniques, all of these came in to help meet the challenge. Separate case sheet was maintained for each athlete or official. There was an overwhelming support from the athletes as they felt the treatment very much useful in pre, post and inter event periods. The fact that the athletes including our Indian team members whom we provided our service had won medals for their respective nations made us more proud of our science. The treatment pattern on an average provided 70% instant and30% gradual relief to the different conditions. The treatment was also beneficial to the athletes who were physically challenged. The venue Medical Officer appreciated our team of physiotherapists Shyam and Arunkumar and Doctors for tireless and sincere efforts. We could watch some thrilling games of Indian team winning gold medal in Table Tennis Men's doubles event and the medal ceremony elated our spirits of nationalism. We were provided with certificates for our volunteership by the CWG committee. We had made many friends in the venue whom we remember back to miss them greatly. All other Doctors who volunteered in other venues also had similar encouraging experiences . Tam thankful to Dr. Anitha Jacob , Director ISM ,Dr.Asokan ,Principal GAVC Thiruvananthapuram, for giving me an opportunity to attend CWG New Delhi 2010 incer Looking forward we have more to gain in the future in the field of sports but an enthusiastic effort to develop our techniques and to imbibe other techniques is the need of the hour. Thus when we are ready the events will open the door.
