Playing sport is a great way to stay active and healthy. It increases strength, cardiovascular health, energy, and stamina. Regular physical activity has many advantages such as weight loss, improved cognitive performance, enhanced mood, prevention of chronic diseases, and improved sleep quality. Sport gives us the chance to make new friends and socialise in a fun and healthy environment.
Injuries can make it very difficult to move or feel comfortable. It can make life difficult for you to do your daily activities or move around, and even more so if you are involved in sports. Sports injuries can be particularly troublesome because they can hinder our ability to perform at our best, or even stop us from playing altogether.
Do you enjoy playing sport, whether at a professional or amateur level, but feel restricted by injury or pain? Are you having a persistent, nagging concern? Ask a Sports Physiotherapist for help.
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.
You must understand that sports injuries do differ from day-to-day injuries. Sports people are usually highly active and require a lot of their bodies to perform.
How does Sports Physiotherapy work?
It is important to be able to return to your sport quickly and safely after undergoing treatment for a sporting injury. 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.How can a sports physiotherapist help?
The passion of sports physiotherapists is to help athletes reach their potential. 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 sports physiotherapist might have specific knowledge about a specific sport, such as football, hockey, cricket, or hockey. It is crucial to have a sports specialist who understands your sport’s complex nature.
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.
