What is Sports therapy?
Sports Therapy is a profession that is now seen by many as an alternative to Physiotherapy.
Sports Therapists use a variety of some of the more traditional Physiotherapy skills.
Whilst Physiotherapists working in the NHS can cover specialisms such as neurology, geriatric, paediatric and respiratory, a Sports Therapist will specialise in Musculoskeletal conditions. These include, but are not limited to sports injuries, back pain and joint issues.
Many Sports Therapists now run successful Pain Clinics to deal with the ever-increasing amount of work-related musculoskeletal problems.
In the UK, Sports Therapy has its roots in Sports Massage and Physiotherapy, with the first Sports Therapy course being run in the 1980’s. There are similarities with Athletic Trainers in the USA, however, Sports Therapists also use many manual therapy techniques to treat pain and injury.
Many Sports Therapists are often confused with Physiotherapists, or many people think that a Sports Therapist will just perform Sports Massage. Both of these are incorrect. Sports Therapists will utilise many of the techniques used in both, alongside many others.
