Playing sport is a great way to stay active and healthy. It increases strength, cardiovascular health, energy, and stamina. Regular exercise has many benefits, including weight loss, cognitive performance enhancement, mood improvement, prevention of chronic disease, better sleep quality, and improved mood. Sport gives us the chance to make new friends and socialise in a fun and healthy environment.
When we have an injury, the pain and discomfort can be very limiting. It can make it very difficult to move and do daily activities, let alone participate in sports. Sports injuries are especially problematic as they can affect our ability and prevent us from performing at our best.

What is Sports Physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy can be described as a specialist field of physiotherapy. It focuses on the treatment, prevention, management and prevention of musculoskeletal injury in athletes and other active individuals.
It is important to understand that sports injuries can be very different from other injuries. Sports people are usually highly active and require a lot of their bodies to perform.
How does Sports Physiotherapy work?
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. They will develop a personalised treatment plan that meets your needs. This can include manual therapy and exercise prescription.How does a sports physiotherapist help you?
Sport physiotherapists are passionate supporters of physical activity and sport. They can help athletes of all levels achieve their potential by adopting a holistic approach towards health and well-being. They work closely with athletes, coaches, medical practitioners, and other allied health professionals as part of a multidisciplinary team that focuses on achieving the best outcomes for each individual athlete.
Each individual sports physiotherapist may possess sport specific knowledge which addresses severe, chronic and overuse injuries sustained in a particular type of sports for example football, soccer, cricket, hockey and basketball. 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 Physiotherapists possess comprehensive knowledge of the newest evidence-based practice, skilled assessment and diagnosis of sports injuries, and are knowledgeable in the use of effective ‘hands-on’ treatment techniques and exercise protocols to aid recovery as well as stop injury.
