What is sports therapy?

I also offer my sports therapy services.  I have an advanced diploma in Sports Therapy.  Sports Therapy is the prevention of injury and the rehabilitaion of the patient back to optimum levels of functional, occupational and sports specific fitness, regardless of age and injury.

A sports therapist is a practitioner who:

* Has the knowledge and ability to provide first aid and attend to injuries in a recreational, training and competitive environment.                                                                * Has the knowledge and ability to assess and, where appropriate, refer on for specialist advice and intervention.                                                                                                   * Has the knowledge and ability to provide sports massage pre and post activity.             * Has the knowedge and ability to implement appropriate rehabilitaiuon programmes * Has the knowledge to utilise sports and exercise principles to optimise          preparation and injury prevention programmes
