Sports Physiotherapy Stourport
Sport is a great way for you to be active and stay healthy. It builds strength, improves cardiovascular health and boosts energy. Regular exercise has many benefits, including weight loss, cognitive performance enhancement, mood improvement, prevention of chronic disease, better sleep quality, and improved mood. Sport allows us to meet new people and have fun while socialising in a safe and enjoyable environment.
The pain and discomfort that can accompany an injury can be quite severe. It can be difficult to move, or even participate in regular activities. Sports injuries can be particularly troublesome because they can hinder our ability to perform at our best, or even stop us from playing altogether.
Are you a person that likes to play sport at either a professional level, or as an amateur, but are being held back by pain or injury? Are you having a persistent, nagging concern? Ask a Sports Physiotherapist for help.
What is Sports Physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy, a specialty in physiotherapy, focuses on the prevention and treatment of injuries to the musculoskeletal system.
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’s the purpose of Sports Physiotherapy?
The goal of sports injuries treatment is to return you to your sport as soon as possible. Sports physiotherapists are experienced in assessing and diagnosing musculoskeletal injuries, as well as providing advice on how to manage them. They can create a customised treatment plan that suits your preferences and goals. These plans may include manual therapy or exercise prescription.How can a sports physiotherapist help?
A sports physiotherapist is a passionate advocate for sport and physical activity. They help athletes at all levels reach their full potential through a holistic approach to wellness and health. 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 have an in-depth knowledge of the latest evidence-based practice, are skilled at diagnosing and treating sports injuries, and are proficient in using ‘hands off’ treatment methods to aid injury recovery.
