Physiotherapy when a Injury comes along…
Let me start off by one of my favorite quotes.
No One Is Guaranteed A Pain Free Journey Through Life.
And while injuries, aches and pains are ANNOYING and LIMITING, they are a natural part of living a healthy, fulfilling life. If we spend our lives wrapped up in cotton and never do anything, challenging, slightly dangerous or at our limits - we wouldn’t enjoy life very much. But we can both be unlucky with accidents and when we push boundaries, test limits and challenge ourselves mentally and physically. Injuries can happen.
The definition of a INJURY is hurt, damage, or loss sustained. This can be hurt or damaged tissue, joint, ligaments, bones, organs, muscles. Or a loss in mobility, ability to move. Injuries can a occur due to overuse or acute accidents such as heavy fall/impact. It can happen to anyone at any time.
If you are reading this, most likely you are struggling with a limitation of some sort. I´m sorry it has come to this - I sympathize to those struggling with an injury, as I know how much of a devastating impact it can have on someone’s life and how you live it.
Moreso, I know it’s even harder for an athlete. As the loss of mobility makes it so difficult for you to move around & perform the things that often makes you happy.
On the brighter side, this is where licenced healthcare professionals come in. It’s the goal of of therapists to help those with injuries to recover their loss of motion & improve their mobility back to the point they were before the issue started.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy or Physical Therapy is basically a therapeutic method that is used to heal any kind of injury & help bring back one’s mobility or the ability to move freely without any pain.
For athletes, this is vital. Having good mobility enables them to perform routines and drills without discomfort or tension in their muscles & body.
You can reach out to your local provider to hear more about the services, and specialities at their clinic. Below I want to guide you through the services one of my collaborators in the UAE - Myphysio.Ae Has to offer, and what each of them can help you with.
#1 Physiotherapy
Of course, Physiotherapy! This is what’s done with you’re already suffering from injuries or illnesses. A therapist can help you with use of his hands to restore the proper function & movement of your body with the technology they are using. This includes soft tissue work, joint mobilization, manipulation and more. They have such great equipment that are used in sessions, such as cupps, graston tools, needles and more.
#2 Sports Massage
Sports Massage is more preventive but can also help athletes with circulation that is vital to recover from any sprains & injuries. By releasing all the knots & trigger points from the body and improving blood circulation in the given area. This also helps athletes regain their balance & flexibility due to less stiffness and pain. Moreso, Sports Massage can also improve your posture & blood circulation. It does have health benefits that are good for your body.

Lastly, they offer Assisted Stretching. This is often done to help you achieve new movements, where they help you gradually increases your muscle range and develop your flexibility by using a Muscle Energy Technique (MET).
