The Casey Basketball Association Junior Cavaliers Induction Day was held recently at Casey Stadium for the upcoming 2025 basketball season.

The pathway development and support of the Cavaliers Junior programs are critical to the ongoing long-term success of the Casey Basketball Association.
Physioworks Health Group Massage Therapist Karyn Wheeler, alongside Physiotherapists David Francis, Alesha White and Nathan Monaco, plus Exercise Physiologist Rebecca Previrtera presented directly to 50 junior basketball teams (over 500 junior athletes), their respective head coach, assistant coach & parents/guardians.
The Physioworks Health Group team shared vital information on a range of key health considerations to help the junior basketballers to be the very best athlete they can be.
The Physioworks team spoke about preparation & recovery before & after training/matches, the importance of biomechanics & how we move, body management to maximize performance, injury care & management, the importance of strength & balance, and general health & well-being such as nutrition, hydration & sleep.
“Speaking directly to, and providing take home information for all, helps to ensure effective communication about why, how & what the Physioworks team do and how this can help all stakeholders – the athlete, the parent and the coach – in this important developmental stage of these young athletes,” said Karyn.
