Speaker:
Dr Margie Olds is a world-leading shoulder physiotherapist, based in Auckland, New Zealand. She has extensive international experience, has worked as a physiotherapist in New Zealand, the USA, and the UK, and so understands how clinicians work in different health care systems.
She also has elite sports experience, was the lead therapist for British Canoeing,g and attended the Athens Olympic Games in 2004. Margie has since added to her successful clinical career with a research career, principally investigating shoulder instability. She attained her Master’s degree in Health Science (Hons) in 2010, which investigated active stiffness in the unstable shoulder.
She has completed her Ph,D which investigated recurrent shoulder instability after a first-time traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation (FTASD). She has developed a predictive tool (Predicting Recurrent Instability of the Shoulder (PRIS)) that can be used in the shared decision-making process to inform people with a FTASD about the likelihood of recurrent shoulder instability.
Margie loves being a clinician and continues to practice clinically at the Auckland Shoulder Clinic (www.shoulderphysio.co.nz). Her innovation and leadership led her to design a shoulder brace for people to wear on return to activity from a shoulder injury (www.flawlessmotion.com). She lives with her husband on the west coast of Auckland, where they ride their bikes, kite surf, and plan their next adventures.
