Joan has also served as lead physiotherapist at Olympic Games, World and European Championships for Athletics and Shooting amongst other sports and was instrumental in establishing the British Sports Massage Association.

Commonwealth Games Programme Changes At the Commonwealth Games Federation Assembly (Nov 2007) in Sri Lanka a number of changes to the Commonwealth Games programme have been agreed: With immediate effect, Women's Skeet and Women's Double Trap have been removed from the programme. This change is as a direct consequence of low participation levels at the 2002 and 2006 Games in these events. Women's Skeet remains an Olympic event, and Scottish Target Shooting will continue to support athletes in this event who are pursuing Great Britain team selection. From effect from 2014, with the exception of Fullbore Rifle, all of the Pairs events, and the non-Olympic individual events, are to be removed from the programme. The non-Olympic events are Women's 50m Prone Rifle - an event in which Scotland has won three Gold, two Silver and two Bronze medals since 1994 - Men's 25m Standard Pistol and Men's 25m Centre Fire Pistol. All three of these events have attracted considerably higher numbers of participants than a number of the Olympic events which are retained, and the Women's Prone decision in particular will mean that for the first time ever, Women will be unable to compete in the Prone event at the Commonwealth Games. Scottish Target Shooting is fully committed to working with our partners and colleagues across the Commonwealth to appeal these decisions
