What is sports therapy?
I also offer my sports therapy services. I have an advanced diploma in Sports Therapy. Sports Therapy is the prevention of injury and the rehabilitaion of the patient back to optimum levels of functional, occupational and sports specific fitness, regardless of age and injury.
A sports therapist is a practitioner who:
* Provides first aid and attend to injuries in a recreational, training and competitive environment.
* Can assess and, where appropriate, refer on for specialist advice and intervention.
* Provides sports massage pre and post activity.
* Implements appropriate rehabilitation programmes.
* Utilises sports and exercise principles to optimise preparation and injury prevention programmes.
