Sports physiotherapy is the specialized branch of physical therapy which deals with injuries and issues related to athletics. Experts in sports physiotherapy may do research, help athletes recover from injuries, and provide education and resources to prevent problems. Therapy services are generally available to persons of all ages engaged in sports at any level of competition. Professionals may work in private practices, hospitals, rehabilitation clinics, or on site at athletic events. Physicians and trainers who practice sports physiotherapy have extensive knowledge of the array of injuries that can occur when playing sports. Therapists help athletes overcome their injuries and return to their previous levels of activity by offering rehabilitation services and advice on preventing future issues. When an athlete is injured, he or she meets with a physiotherapist to discuss the problem and determine the best rehabilitation plan. He or she may be instructed to take medicine prescribed by a physician and participate in physical therapy sessions to regain strength and confidence. Throughout rehabilitation training, the therapist evaluates the athlete's progress and advises him or her on how to prevent another injury from occurring.
