Physiotherapy for Soccer players
Your physiotherapist understands the demand your sport requires and can assess and observe the injury to identify all the factors that needs attention. After identifying the possible underlying dysfunctions, your therapist will formulate a plan to overcome all the issues that are detected. This plan will be tailored towards the individual and the injury, and the treatment session will typically consist of some of the following techniques: Education on the problem and prognosis, deep tissue massage, Dry needling/IMS, joint mobilisations, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, taping/strapping, and a sport specific tailored exercise programme. At Game Day Physiotherapy in Victoria, we will support you through the whole process and are always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
