Sport is a great activity to keep active and healthy. It builds strength, improves cardiovascular health and boosts energy. Regular exercise can lead to weight loss, improved cognitive performance and mood enhancements, as well as preventing chronic diseases and improving sleep quality. Sport gives us the chance to make new friends and socialise in a fun and healthy environment.

What is Sports Physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy is a specialised field of physio that focuses on the rehabilitation, prevention, and management of musculoskeletal injuries in athletes and active people.
It is important that you understand that sports injuries are not the same as everyday injuries. Sports people usually demand active performance, and the demands put on their body stress their muscles, joints and bones to the maximum.
What is the aim of Sports Physiotherapy?
The aim of treatment for sports injuries is to get you back in your sport as quickly as possible. Sports physiotherapists can diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries as well as provide advice on how to manage them. You will be given a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. This could include manual therapy, exercise prescription and biomechanical assessment.What can a sports physiotherapist do?
Sports physiotherapists are passionate advocates of sport and physical activity, helping athletes of all levels to reach their potential by taking a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. As part of a multidisciplinary team, physiotherapists work closely alongside athletes, coaches, doctors, and other health professionals in order to achieve the best results for each individual athlete.
Each sports physiotherapist could have sport-specific knowledge, which can address severe, chronic, and overuse injuries in certain sports, such as soccer, football, cricket and hockey. It is for this reason that it is necessary to meet with a sports physiotherapist that knows the complicated nature of your specific sport.
Sports Therapists are well-versed in the latest evidence-based practices, can assess and diagnose sports injuries and know the best ‘hands-on treatment’ methods and exercises to speed recovery.
