Physiotherapy or Remedial Massage?

 It's no secret that athletes put on a lot of work to keep themselves fit and healthy when playing the sports they love. However, there are times when they become too eager and end up doing more than what their bodies can handle, often leading to injuries.

When athletes are injured, they are often required to get plenty of rest and follow a strict treatment plan designed by a licensed physical therapist to ensure they can get back in shape so they can continue playing.

What are the most most common treatment include:


Physical therapy

If an athlete gets injured or has felt body aches while training or during a game, they may be sent to a sports injury clinic so a physical therapist can run tests, assess the condition of the athlete, then recommend a treatment plan that works best for their condition.
