RUGBY INJURY PREVENTION

MUSCULOSKELETAL SCREENING ASSESSMENTS

23% of rugby club players are unavailable for team selection as a consequence of training and match injuries.

Recurrent injuries account for at least 18% of player injuries.

34% of all training injuries are sustained during the pre-season.

Injury prevention screening assessments can help reduce musculoskeletal imbalances, prevent injuries, and enhance performance.

Injury prevention screening assessments include:

• An evaluation of old and current injuries

• An assessment of your balance, strength, flexibility, and agility

• The development of an exercise program tailored to your specific needs

An injury prevention screening assessment will provide you with a clear understanding of your musculoskeletal strengths, imbalances, and weaknesses as well as practical recommendations to help you to prepare for the 2007 season.

All assessments are conducted by a physical therapist with athletic training qualifications.

There is no fee for a personalized injury prevention screening assessment.
