When you should seek sports physio
It’s normal to push our bodies to the limit in sport, but sometimes this can result in an injury. However, this is nothing to be alarmed about. With the right advice, education, rehab and guidance, you can be back to your sport in no time. Sometimes, returning to the previous level of exercise too soon can flare up an injury and add to recovery time. When you become injured, it’s essential to listen to your body and seek out a Physiotherapist, in the early stages, for the right advice, exercises and treatment to get you back on track. Injuries in sport need not be a major obstacle and prevent you from playing or running for long periods. Physiotherapists are extremely knowledgeable and skilled in this area and will guide you on the right road to recovery, ensuring that injuries do not reoccur again in the future.

Injury Prevention Talk
John has always had a great passion for injury prevention. His philosophy is that you should take care of your body and be proactive rather than reactive. Not only will it save you money and time away from your sport, but it will also help you excel to reach the next level. John has developed an injury prevention course for GAA players by reviewing the latest and highest quality research* available. He has created an efficient and effective exercise regime that can be easily incorporated into an individual’s training programme. Thereby significantly reducing the frequency of the most common injuries sustained in GAA. John plans on delivering this course to all the major sports played in Ireland over the next few years. If you would like more information on this course then please visit our Sports Injury Prevention Course page.
*When creating the injury prevention course John has liaised with the GAA. He gained access to research that was completed by the injury surveillance database team that recorded injuries to inter-county GAA players. In the future, Next Level Physiotherapy will also be providing injury prevention programmes for soccer and rugby teams.
