- Self manage your injury with expert physio guidance
Many rugby injuries can be effectively self managed with the help of expert advice from a Chartered Physiotherapist / Physical Therapist.
Rugby league injury statistics show that the head, ankle and shoulder are the most common rugby injuries .
Injuries usually happen as a result of collisions and direct trauma and commonly include, concussion, fractures of the clavicle (collar bone), sprains of the acromioclavicular joint (the joint where the collar bone joins the shoulder) contusions on the thigh , and tears of knee ligaments.
At Physiobench we can help you self manage your rugby injury
Every injury is unique, so self managing your rugby injury doesn't necessarily involve following a standard set of exercises. However we encourage you to first explore our general advice
To greatly improve your chance in succeeding to self manage your injury, our expert team of Chartered Physiotherapists / Physical Therapists can help. You can choose a physio, our recommendation being Karen Hellawell, physio to the elite National Junior Rugby Squad, with the specialist skills to provide you with a personalised treatment programme
A sprained, swollen or turned ankle is one of the most commonly occurring injuries to the leg. Determining the severity of the sprain is the key to assessing the correct course of treatment.
It is common to help heal an injury with ice. Deciding whether you should apply ice rather than heat, and for how long can make the difference between helping to heal your injury and making it worse.
For the inclusive package of £28, you receive a personalised injury self management programme comprising exercises and expert advice from your chosen physio.
Included in this price is a follow up assessment, which you can choose to take at any time within 3 months folllowing the initial assessment.
