Football Physio - Help!

[TheSportsPhysiotherapist]

Hi there,

I agree with Bobo - Clinical Sports Medicine is an essential text if you want to be involved in sports physio.

Another asset (particularly for someone in your financial position) is the huge amount of free information online. As well as YouTube, a good blog for you to check out is www.TheSportsPhysiotherapist.com (yes I know, I'm plugging my own site) - which discusses the aspects of being a 'sports physiotherapist'.

I would advise you to take the position, as sports physiotherapy offers an amazing experience.

I really hope this helps, and good luck!

wow, that sites actually really good!

I have taken the post and have been working for the club for a month or so, really enjoying it so far. Any tips for handling a recurrent adductor strain? My pts been out of action for the last 4 weeks (he returned to training following 2 weeks of massage and strengthening with me only to find that it recurred as soon as he resumed full training). He has a history of groin strains (has been out twice in the last season) and has generally poor flexibility particularly quads and hamstrings (which we're addressing with a bit of PNF but its not had much of an effect yet). Nothing else of note really, just his history worries me and dont want him to be out for too long.

Is taping effective for groin strain or preventing recurrence? How do you tape for this?

Thanks!
