2019 Dakine Beach Volleyball

Writer's picture: IMGIMG


On May 18-19, 2019, Integrative Medicine Group sponsored the Bastyr Sports Medicine Club at the DaKine Beach Volleyball Tournament at Alki Beach in West Seattle. This was a beach doubles tournament, and had divisions consisting of women’s AA, coed A, U14 juniors, and U12 juniors. The Bastyr Sports Medicine Club members that attended the event included: Raymond Chao, Veronica Neumann, Aimee Kisiachi, and Chelsea Mikula. This was the club’s first year volunteering with the DaKine Volleyball Club

, and the club was happy to play a role at such a lively event.

The Bastyr Sports Medicine Club was the only first aid and medical team for the event, and the members were supervised by Dr. Darci Davis, ND, Dr. Yang, ND, LAc and Dr. Jessica Norton, ND, LAc. Students encountered shoulder and knee injuries, sprained ankles and wrists, back pain, and various other injuries. The sandy nature of the tournament challenged the students to modify their treatments to better support the athletes. The students used Kinesio taping, soft tissue mobilization, joint manipulation, cupping, muscle energy stretching, and athletic taping as treatment modalities.

The Bastyr Sports Medicine Club would like to thank Dr. Darci Davis, Dr. Yang ND, LAc and Dr. Jessica Norton for supervising the student club members, and for improving our sports medicine skills. We’d also like to thank Integrative Medicine Group for their sponsorship, and Kinesiotaping Association for their Kinesio tape donation. Thanks to Christie Plaksy, assistant club director and director of programming, and other DaKine event organizers for reaching out

to us and arranging such a remarkable event. The Bastyr Sports Medicine Club enjoyed practicing their skills at the beach volleyball tournament, and look forward to volunteering at future DaKine volleyball events!
