So what actually is a Sports Therapist? 🤔
There’s a lot of confusion over our job role, and it’s not hard to understand why when there are so many different types of practitioner who can deal with injuries.
Sports Therapists are clinicians who have achieved an accredited University degree, giving us the skills and knowledge to assess, treat, rehabilitate and prevent injuries.
We use a range of treatment techniques, which includes sports massage, but we have a lot more knowledge on diagnosis & treatment than a Sports Massage Therapist. We also are not Physiotherapists, but we have the same level of diagnostic/injury management knowledge, and often a higher level of hands on treatment skill.
So if you have a ni**le and want to resolve it before it becomes a real problem, or you are currently hampered by an injury, consider speaking to a Sports Therapist! We combine the skills of physios, massage therapists and strength coaches, to get you back where you want to be!
