Early assessment can help you understand the severity of an injury, receive appropriate advice, and develop a plan for recovery. However, physiotherapy can also be beneficial for injuries that have been present for some time.
Can physiotherapy help prevent future injuries?
Physiotherapy can help identify factors that may contribute to injury risk and provide guidance around strength, mobility, training load, and return-to-sport planning.
