Common Football Injuries and How Physiotherapy Helps

At The Physio Crew, we use evidence-based strategies to help footballers in Tullamarine and Carlton prevent and recover from sports injuries.

1. Hamstring Strains & Tears
   • 90% of hamstring injuries are preceded by mild discomfort. How can we help?
     • Targeted hamstring strengthening & flexibility programs
     • Sports massage & manual handling techniques to reduce tightness
     • Neuromuscular activation and power drills to improve sprint mechanics
2. Knee Pain & ACL Injuries
   • High risk in footballers who don’t address early knee discomfort. How can we help?
     • Biomechanical assessments to identify movement issues using VALD technology – access lower limb asymmetries, power, speed and force produced.
     • Progressive strengthening & agility drills
     • Implementation of Prevention programs such as FIFA 11+
     • Knee stabilisation, Power & proprioception training
3. Groin & Hip Pain
   • Common in players with poor movement mechanics & flexibility issues. How can we help?
     • Hip mobility strength exercises to reduce muscle and joint strain
     • Strengthening of adductors & glutes to improve stability
     • Manual therapy & guided rehab plans
