A day in a life of a sports physiotherapist
I work with the injured footballers and arrange physiotherapy for these players. I liaise with the clubs about the player’s injuries and travel around the UK as and when required to assess these players.
I design rehabilitation programmes for players as and when required.
I teach the medical content on FA coaching courses.
Travelling with a squad involves daily assessment and treatment for all players around the training schedule.
During an international match I provide pitch side medical assessment.
