Prevention and Treatment with Breakspeare Clinics
Rugby is a physically demanding sport, and players are at high risk for injuries. The most common rugby injuries include concussions, ACL tears, shoulder dislocations, hamstring strains, and ankle sprains. These injuries not only impact performance but can also lead to long-term health issues if not properly treated.
At Breakspeare Clinics, we specialize in the treatment and prevention of rugby injuries. Our new physiotherapist, Scott, based at our Chipping Norton clinic, has a keen interest in rugby injuries. Scott's expertise in this area ensures that players receive the best care, tailored to their specific needs.
Physiotherapy is crucial for the effective management of rugby injuries. Through personalized treatment plans, our physiotherapists help players recover faster, regain strength, and prevent future injuries. Common physiotherapy techniques include manual therapy, exercise prescription, and rehabilitation programmes designed to restore optimal function.
Preventing Rugby Injuries
Preventing rugby injuries is equally important. Here are the top five exercises that can help:
Squats: Strengthen the legs and core.
Deadlifts: Enhance lower back and hamstring strength.
Planks: Improve core stability.
Lunges: Boost balance and leg strength.
Shoulder Presses: strengthen shoulder muscles and prevent dislocations.
Regularly incorporating these exercises into training routines can significantly reduce the risk of injury.
