Sports Physiotherapy is the specialist physiotherapy branch that deals with sports people's injuries and issues. Sports physiotherapists are involved in the prevention and management of injuries resulting from the sport. A sportsperson is required lots of intensive physical activities which sometimes leads to wear and tear in the muscles, joints and bones. Sports physiotherapists are helping athletes recover from sports injuries by offering support and services to reduce complications. Typically, every sports physiotherapist has the sport-specific experience that treats acute, chronic, and overuse injury. 

Sports physiotherapy is a specialised segment of physical therapy that deals with the physical issues and injuries sustained by athletes.

A sports physiotherapist examines and diagnoses injuries. 

They plan treatment and prevention programmes.

Use methods such as manipulation, massage, heat treatment, electrotherapy and hydrotherapy.

Sports physiotherapists work with men and women of all ages who are engaged in sports of any level, from amateur competitions to professional levels.

Due to the high levels of stress that athletes place on their bodies during their intensive physical activities, muscles and joints are pushed to their limits. This can result in injuries more severe than those which typically happen in day-to-day life. 

A physiotherapist actively deals with these kinds of injuries and makes the sportsperson get back to normal.
