SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY

IMG_1208.jpg

Sports physiotherapy is the branch of physiotherapy that deals with the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of sports related injuries without a doctor’s referral. Sports physiotherapists work with athletes of all levels, from amateur to professional, to help them prevent and recover from injuries.

Sports physiotherapy can help prevent injuries by assessing an athlete's risk factors and developing a prevention plan. They can also treat a broad range of sports injuries by providing rehabilitation exercises and modalities such as massage, heat or cold therapy. Sports physiotherapists work with athletes to provide treatment and help them return to their sport as safely and quickly as possible.

If you are an athlete, or if you are suffering from an injury that is preventing you from participating in your chosen sport, our sports physiotherapist at Training Day can help you.

What is sports physiotherapy?

Sports physiotherapy is the branch of physiotherapy that deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries and disorders related to sports and exercise. Sports physiotherapists work with athletes of all levels, from amateur to professional, to help them prevent and recover from injuries. They also work with people who are not athletes but who have active lifestyles and want to stay healthy and fit.

What does a sports physiotherapist do?

Sports physiotherapy is the branch of physiotherapy that deals with the injuries sustained during sporting activity. 

Sports physiotherapy can encompass a wide range of activities, from the treatment of acute injuries to the provision of long-term rehabilitation programmes. Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques to help their patients recover from injury and improve their performance, including exercise prescription, massage, and joint manipulation.

This type of physiotherapy can help people with a wide variety of conditions, including:

  • Musculoskeletal injuries, such as sprains, strains, and fractures.

  • Joint injuries, such as dislocations and ligament tears.

  • Repetitive strain injuries.

  • Tendonitis or Sports-related concussions.

  • Overuse injuries.

Sports physiotherapists use a range of techniques to assess and treat their patients. These may include a physical examination, joint and soft tissue mobilisation, muscle strengthening and stretching exercises for movement, cardiovascular conditioning to prevent heart disease, balance training and plyometric exercises.

This can help athletes recover from injuries and prevent future injuries that can be detrimental to their health. Sports physiotherapy in Australia can also help people with active lifestyles stay healthy and fit in life.

What's the difference between physiotherapy services and other services by health professionals?

Sports physiotherapy techniques is the practice of providing physical therapy to athletes. Sports physiotherapists work with athletes to prevent physical problems and treat injuries, improve performance, and recover from training and competition, especially at sporting clubs. Compared to other practitioners they may also provide advice on nutrition, exercise, and injury prevention.

However, other health professionals who provide services to athletes include athletic trainers, sports medicine doctors, and sports psychologists. Sports physiotherapy is a relatively new field, and there is still much research to be done in order to fully understand the role of physiotherapy in sports. However, the benefits of physiotherapy for athletes are well-established, and the demand for sports physiotherapy services is growing.
