Physiotherapy plays a key role in injury assessment and treatment, injury prevention, performance enhancement and body awareness. These factors are all essential to your overall development and progress towards peak performance. As an athlete it is important that you understand how physiotherapy and medical support can impact in ways other than just as a reaction to injury. Through screening you can identify and address areas of weakness or imbalance before they risk injury or influence performance. Physiotherapy also includes sports massage that can be used very effectively to aid the recovery process from periods of heavy training or competition. Physiotherapy also plays a key part in your athlete education – covering areas such as travel issues, doping control, injury prevention and sports specific needs.

The TASS Medical Scheme is administered by Health Partners and entitles you to claim for private treatment resulting from a sporting injury. Please note, it is your responsibility to gain authorisation from the insurance company prior to any treatment or investigation.

In addition to the support for sporting injuries, you’re also able to access over the phone counselling for your mental health and well being. The Bupa Healthy Minds service can help you talk through any worries and concerns before they become bigger problems and it can connect you to further clinical support if required.
