The early management of sporting injuries is a critical part of keeping athletes on the field and preventing long-term damage. Physiotherapy input during the acute phase is important to help reduce swelling and pain, and to promote healing. The aim of physiotherapy during this phase is to protect the injured tissue and prevent further injury. Early management also includes the use of ice, heat, compression and elevation to help reduce swelling (read more about our top tips on PEACE). Physiotherapy during the early phase of injury management is vital to ensure a speedy recovery and return to play. Plus in certain circumstances (especially late in the season) aids in getting through the final games whilst managing the injury.
As well as our initial first aid, physiotherapy can provide valuable input regarding the evidence around appropriately managing the acute injury such as bracing/taping or early loading strategies in order to minimise muscle strength loss and compensatory pattern formation. In short - if in doubt about an injury, it's always best to make a booking as soon as possible! Once the acute phase has passed, physiotherapy changes to the rehabilitation phase where it is important to regain strength, range of motion and function. Rehabilitation exercises are progressed as tolerated, depending on the type of injury. The aim of physiotherapy during this phase is to safely return the athlete to their pre-injury level of activity and education on possible prevention ideas as well. Athletes need to be aware of how to prevent injuries in the first place. Warming up properly before exercise, cooling down afterwards and wearing appropriate clothing and footwear. However the biggest prevention for injuries during the season is a solid preseason. This is the time to get Physio input to help identify any imbalances or weaknesses.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
