I have worked as a sports physiotherapist analysing and identifying the risks of pitch-side injuries to the athletes in order to provide proper advice and adaptation of rehabilitation and training, to prevent injury, restore optimal function, and enhance sports performance.I have been responsible for recognising and providing acute interventions when an injury or illness occurs during training or competition, including treatments with corrective exercise, electrotherapy, massage, mobilizations, dry needling, acupuncture and education on sports specific biomechanics, as well as first aid and basic life support.My training has helped me to liaise well with other health care professionals, as well as with trainers and coaches on management of injury and prevention programmes over the course of my care and services. I have worked with National Team athletes in track and field, martial arts, running, triathlon, and rugby as-well as dedicated athletes inspiring to represent at the international and/or local level of sports.

In this role I performed initial examinations to identify patients’ problems, and determine a diagnosis in order to provide appropriate rehabilitation plan in those with a variety of musculoskeletal disorders in an outpatient setting. I administered treatments involving application of therapeutic exercise, physical agents, using equipment, moist packs, electrotherapy, and various manual therapy techniques to improve mobility, manage pain, increase strength, and improve disabling conditions resulting from disease or injury.I closely liaised with orthopaedic consultants at Orthopaedic Clinic to provide physiotherapy services when required post-operative procedures and/or following soft tissue injury. Educating and providing information to patients about proposed intervention, its risks and expected benefits was a routine activity.
