Sports physiotherapy

A sports physiotherapist has extensive knowledge of (sports) injuries and training principles. They use this to prevent and treat sports-related symptoms.

After an injury or illness, the sports physiotherapist can ensure that the patient becomes fit again and can return to work or the sports field. They do this by training the strength, fitness, coordination, and stability of weaker parts of the body.

You can also contact the sports physiotherapist with questions about building up training, alternative training during injuries, advice about weight loss, and so on. Common injuries treated by a sports physiotherapist are shoulder, knee, and ankle symptoms.

Under the guidance of a sports physiotherapist, the build-up of training is safeguarded so that the athlete can work on recovery in a responsible way. Athletes who build up their training too slowly or too quickly after an injury benefit greatly from a sports physiotherapist.

Where does a sports physiotherapist work?

A sports physiotherapist is usually found in a private practice or in a hospital department. Because most sports take place outdoors, a sports physiotherapist also regularly works outside or on the sports field.

More and more sports physiotherapists are also connected to a sports club, both in the field of prevention and in the examination and treatment of injured athletes. A sports physiotherapist can, among other things, collaborate with a sports physician or orthopaedic surgeon.
