Modern scientific understanding has developed an advice centred approach to injuries and their prevention based on assessment, treatment and exercise. Sports and domestic injuries therapists can provide specific actual treatment that can prevent further injury using massage and manipulation. It is the treatment of soft tissue injury such as strains, sprains and muscle tears. In fact most injuries that occur are not only as a result of community sport but have occurred from either general daily work or recreational purposes.
They may be caused by accidents or by overuse and they do not necessarily differ from injuries sustained in a sporting environment. Injuries may be diagnosed and then treated effectively so that general daily work and leisure activity can be resumed at the earliest opportunity. Even the more casual enthusiast upon whom demands are not so great suffer both physically and psychologically as a result of minor injuries and may be prevented from pursuing the activity which usually contributes significantly to their sense of well being and quality of life. Knowing what to look out for and where to go for sound advice and rehabilitation is vital if you wish to continue your sport, fitness regime or everyday life.
With the aid of manipulation and sports massage techniques to speed up recovery together with ultrasound and electrical stimulation treatment as well as prescribing a rehabilitation programme of mobility, stretching and strengthening exercises these injuries can be treated effectively.
