Introduction of Sports Physiotherapy

Sports physiotherapy consists of four main aspects, including injury prevention, prehabilitation, rehabilitation and return to sports.
It can help injured athletes (professional or amateur) to return to sports (eg. ski, golf, tennis, ice skating, basketball, marathon running) as soon as possible.

Injury Prevention

Injuries not only caused by vigorous and contact sports, some of the overuse injuries arise from repetitive movement or training. With proper warm-up and specific strengthening exercise on targeted muscles, the chance of injuries may decreased.
Prehabilitation

Prehabiliation depends on types of surgeries. The principles are strengthening the muscles groups around the injured area, improving the range of motion of the involving joints and maintaining the cardiovascular function. It helps to shorten the rehabilitation period and achieving better results after rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation

During rehabilitation period, exercises or training are not necessarily stop completely after injuries. Physiotherapists will use their professional knowledge to design a safe and effective training to athletes and make sure the injured parts are well protected.

Common sports injuries are:
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, rotator cuff tendinitis, tennis elbow, shoulder dislocation (Bankart/ Hill-Sachs lesion), patella dislocation, iliotibial band syndrome.
