TRACK 12: Physiotherapy in sports Related Injuries

Physical therapists work with people to regain physical health that has been lost due to illness or injury. Sports Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that involves prevention, evaluation and management of injuries resulting from sports and exercise participation at all ages and levels of ability. When things get physical, there is potential for injury, when used too much then the acute sprain and strain injuries are the most common. Athletes normally require high stamina and demand placed upon their body, which stresses their muscles, joints and bones to the limit. Every sports physiotherapist usually has sport-specific knowledge that addresses acute, chronic and overuse injuries.
