Injury Prevention
A large role we play as chartered physiotherapists is in the area of “prehab” i.e. keeping people well and the old saying “prevention is better than cure” could be tailor made for this role of ours at Physio4U.
Pitch Side Cover
An essential service that every successful team needs is the presence of a chartered physiotherapist to provide first line assessment and treatment before, during and after every game. Pitch side cover not only allows the chartered physiotherapist to identify those who have sustained injuries during the game, but it also allows rehabilitation to start with advice, taping to support painful tissues if necessary and liaison with the team doctor if this is indicated. It also means that an injured player is educated about how to manage his injury for the immediate period from sustaining the injury until he is reviewed in the clinic the following week.
