How is Sports Medicine Different from Regular Physiotherapy?

Most regular physiotherapy focuses on recovery and maintenance from an injury or condition. Sports Medicine uses a broader focus with other professionals to get and keep your body in peak athletic condition.

Sports Medicine often includes services from physiotherapists, nutritionists, athletic trainers, and even your family doctor. All these professionals work together overseeing and managing your health and ensuring your body is ready for the challenge of your sports routine.

For example, a long-distance runner needs different nutrition than a football player or a weightlifter. And young athletes have extensive nutritional requirements while they are still growing.
