Common Rugby Injuries and the Benefits of Physiotherapy
Rugby players often face injuries like sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, and concussions. These injuries can sideline players, impacting their performance and overall health. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in resolving these issues by providing tailored treatment plans that promote healing, restore function, and prevent re-injury.
At Breakspeare Clinics, our expert physiotherapists utilise advanced techniques to address specific needs, ensuring a speedy recovery and safe return to the field.
