Better Athletic Training With Physio Supervision

Better Athletic Training With Physio Supervision

A recent thesis from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden has shown a 50% increase of the athletic performance in volleyball players who had physiotherapy supervision and planning of their exercise sessions.

The number of sports injuries was also smaller in the supervised group and the suggestion is that a significant number of injuries in athletes at all levels could be prevented by physiotherapy supervision of their strength training.

Physiotherapists are specialists in planning and overseeing exercise regimes for patients and athletes and their biomechanical and pathological knowledge equips them to set goals and get the best performance from sport training.
