| Many injuries result from taking
part in sport and exercise. These may be acute or chronic, and can
affect any part of the body. When injury does occur, an accurate diagnosis
and prompt treatment/rehabilitation are important to achieve a good
recovery and aid an early return to sport. Sports physiotherapy
as a profession is undergoing significant changes. The physiotherapist
working at home, or alongside a GP at the local practice, is gradually
being replaced by larger clinics incorporating a range of different
health professionals. The sports medicine team may include the following
disciplines:
- physiotherapist
- massage therapist
- podiatrist
- pilates
- nutritionist
- personal trainers
- coaches
The work of all these professionals can become more efficient in
a team set-up.
A client’s hopes for speedy and full recovery from injury
rely heavily on the prompt establishment of good injury management
strategies. A multi-skilled team will enable athletes attending
the clinic to be directed towards the therapist with the most relevant
expertise and to be referred for further assessment or treatment
when appropriate. Wessex Health Physiotherapy and Sports Injury
Clinic is a multi-disciplinary clinic specialising in the management
of musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries.
In reality an athletes’ problems are often complex and multifactorial,
and a clinic may be more likely to facilitate specialisation and
offer cross-disciplinary analysis.
Injured athletes often struggle with motivation. In the clinic
setting athletes are more likely to have an opportunity to interact
with one another, share experiences and feed off each other, just
as they would do in their regular regime with training partners.
The most effective clinicians are those who enjoy their workplace.
They are willing to go the extra step for their clients –
and the athletes respond accordingly. At Wessex Health we aim to
go this extra step.
