What is the difference between sports therapy and physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a broader field aimed at treating a variety of physical issues, whether related to injuries, chronic pain, or musculoskeletal disorders. It can also be used for cardiovascular, neurological, or respiratory systems.

 

Sports therapy, on the other hand, focuses specifically on the injuries and needs of athletes, whether professional or amateur. It aims to optimize performance, treat sports-related injuries, and aid rehabilitation for a quick and safe return to sports activities. This often involves techniques such as taping, sports massages, and specific exercises to improve mobility and strength. It specializes in the musculoskeletal system.
