Rugby Season Injuries

Croydon Rugby teams get ready for big hits 

With the England’s Rugby Captain originating from Croydon, Chris Robshaw is all but aware of the types of injuries that can happen on the playing field. Losing five players to injuries in 2014 may seem to some like their chances of success this season are lost. But with proper physiotherapy care and recovery, the outcome of these injuries may not be so extreme. Sanderstead Physio is one of the top physiotherapists in Croydon which provides an effective treatment for muscular damage. 

On a weekly basis, high schools across Croydon compete in Rugby matches which all hope to reach the NatWest cup. With the competition so intense between teams, the last thing any of the young chaps want is to be out of action by injury. Due to its location, Surrey’s Sanderstead Physio is located conveniently for its customers. <They> strive to get their patient back on the field as soon as possible. 

According to qbe europe   (QBE), one of the world’s leading international insurancers, the majority of common injuries sustained in rugby can be treated through physiotherapy.  A tear to either the Gastrocnemius or Soleus muscle can be serious; but with the correct physiotherapy, the recovery time can be reduced significantly. 

On average young teenagers play between fifteen to thirty rugby games a season (school and clubs) and thus, the chance of gaining an injury on the pitch is very probable. From a collapsed scrum to a mighty tackle, the human body takes a beating. It’s to no surprise then that a player may need that extra “TLC” from a physiotherapist every now and again. 

With the new Rugby season looming, ice packs are at the ready for black eyes and swollen knees and the smell of deep heat has already begun to linger in every player’s household. When the dreaded news arrives about an injury your loved one has sustained, the Sanderstead Physio will be there for you.
