Are the British and Irish Lions feeling a bit of pain
Should there have been a British Lion rugby player from Croydon?
At the end of a bruising rugby season, there are still a few players out there putting their bodies on the line in the shape of the British and Irish Lions. Some may still wonder why England captain and former Warlingham Rugby player Chris Robshaw was not in the original Lions Squad, some can be now thinking it is not too late with the amount of injuries they have.
The Lions certainly know the benefit of having good physiotherapists on board with a team of 6 in the medical squad to look after the injured players. With the physical nature of the sport is now a must for almost every club to have their own physiotherapist.
Rugby Injuries
Keen (ex) rugby player and coach Christopher Mallow is also a very experienced physiotherapist who has dealt with almost every rugby related injury possible. Chris has been a physiotherapist in Croydon for over 20 years and has been the physio for several of the local rugby clubs such as Purley John Fisher Old and Warlingham Rugby Club.
Chris recognises that many rugby players try to ignore the pain but he always advises that in the long term it is best to seek advice if you have a chronic rugby injury. “I have treated many players who could have been back playing sooner if they had only visited us earlier”.
