INJURIES IN SPORTS REQUIRE A MULTI-FACTORIAL APPROACH

Good sports physiotherapy practice ideally involves first having the skills to aid in the prevention of injury, but then when necessary knowledge to perform a skilled and comprehensive evaluation of an injury. Sports physio treatment also requires being able to recognize when any necessary protection of the injured tissue is required to aid recovery. Knowing when to appropriately time tissue loading to improve/restore any necessary flexibility, strength, postural control or muscle imbalance is another area of expertise a good sports physio will possess. Ultimately, a sports physio aims to enhance an athlete’s performance, and aid recovery from injuries, all the while providing advice, education, and tools to prevent further injury.

A GOOD SPORTS PHYSIO REQUIRES AN UNDERSTANDING OF SPORTING DEMANDS

Physio’s Clinic’s goal when working in the sports physiotherapy field is for the athlete to return to play as quickly and safely as possible. Helping them achieve pre-injury levels and (where possible) improving on the athlete’s pre-injury performance. Being a sports physio requires skilled methods of evaluating the level of injury, considerable treatment and rehabilitation experience and skills, as well as a thorough understanding of the sport and its biomechanics, all this will aid in a quick return to play and assist in the prevention of future injury.
