Physiotherapy Sports

Physical therapists are closely involved in the care and well being of athletes, including recreational, semi-professional (paid) and professional (full-time employment) participants. This area of practice encompasses athletic injury management under 5 main categories:

1. Acute care – assessment and diagnosis of an initial injury;

2. Treatment – application of specialist advice and techniques to encourage healing;

3. Rehabilitation – progressive management for full return to sport;

4. Prevention – identification and address of the deficiencies known to directly result in, or act as precursors to injury, such as movement assessment

5. Education – sharing of specialist knowledge to individual athletes, teams or clubs to assist in the prevention or management of injury

At Jaipur Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation after sports injury is very specific according to the muscles and ligaments or other tissues injured. Depending on types of injury, there can be several areas of dysfunction and hence the condition has to be diagnosed and treated by a sports Physiotherapist specialized in this subject.
