  1. Why physiotherapy?

  2. The case for physiotherapy • To identify specific weaknesses and tightness throughout the biomechanical chain... Possible causes for the injury • To break down rogue scar tissue and restrictive fascia which will cause future immobility and injury • To manage a controlled return to sport programme at all levels • To advise on footwear, orthotics, taping & bracing

  3. My advice to you. • An injury will NEVER improve with rest alone. Symptoms may settle but will resume once activity recommences, putting other joints at risk • If a joint is swollen, and bruised, something has happened to it and it needs further assessment: physio or orthopaedic • Never advise heat for pain if acute, or acute on chronic. Always suggest icing... See the icing protocol.
