SPORTS PHYSIO

Sports Injuries hinder one’s performance. They include injuries ranging from a dislocated shoulder to sprained ankle. It is extremely important that players and athletes are adequately rehabilitated before returning to sport. 

​

If you have any sporting injury it is best to consult a sports physiotherapist during the acute phase of an injury, i.e. within 48-72 hours. This will help the physiotherapist to diagnose your injury properly and treat it before it becomes chronic. 

 

Physiotherapists at BSI will assess your injury and design a treatment and rehabilitation plan and help you to return to your sport as early as possible.

​

Sports Injuries are classified into two main categories: Traumatic injuries and Overuse injuries. Traumatic injuries further divide into extrinsic and intrinsic and then extrinsic injuries further divide into acute and chronic injuries.

​

• Acute Injuries: the sudden appearance of symptoms after a fall or collision or direct blow

• Chronic injuries: gradual onset caused by repetitive light trauma to soft tissue or bone

• Overuse injuries: due to excessive and repetitive use of the same muscle, joint or bone
