Sports injuries are different to normal day to day injuries. The demands of sport on the body are higher
than everyday activities such as walking. This places more pressure on the joints, ligaments, muscles and
tendons and can make them prone to injury.
Physiotherapy has greater importance in sports. Helps in curing the athletes of any acute and chronic
injuries that might have occurred due to sprain, strain or muscle stress in joints, heart, lungs and
cardiovascular system.
The physiotherapist also manages any neurological ailments or disorders.
Enlisting some of the vital roles of physiotherapy in sports –
Prevention of any injury
Seeking proper intervention
Rehabilitation of athletes
Enhanced Performance
Enhancement of an active and safe lifestyle
Leading a successful disease-free life
Maintaining a healthy diet with nutrition
At our clinic, physiotherapist is competent in ‘hands on’ treatment and has extensive training
and experience in soft tissue techniques such as myofascial release and joint techniques such as spinal
manipulation.
However, where we often stand out are is there injury management and rehabilitation
skill. We focus on strength and conditioning to ensure we periodise your rehabilitation and develop your
athletic ability, so you come back stronger from injury.
Lack of strength is often a key risk factor for
many joint, tendon and muscle injuries and forms a key part of most treatment regimes and injury
prevention programmes.
So in the end, it’s fair to say that physiotherapy has plenty of benefits. It decreases and eliminates any
pain and swelling, along with improved coordination and muscle strength.
Physiotherapy also enhances
the breathing rate and heals any wound properly and aids in faster recovery from any serious injury or
disability.
