FHT Member and blind therapist Nicholas Mulryan has been featured in the Buxton Advertiser, celebrating his sports therapy success…
While training at Stockport College, Nick developed an interest in healing sports injuries, which led to orthopaedics in Manchester, then to Nick being the first blind person to take a medical science degree at Teeside University.
He said: “They told me I’d taken on an arduous challenge, and it was. Other people could skim-read medical journals to find the bits they need, but when you’re working with speech software you have to listen to the whole thing.
“With the hands-on stuff, you develop more attuned senses, but you have to back it up with clinical knowledge.”
His post university life has led him into work with elite footballers, marathon-runners and triathletes, and shifts with Buxton Rugby Club.
He said: “It surprised the players, they’d never seen a blind person on the pitch.”
We wish all finalists in the 2016 FHT Excellence Awards the best of luck!
