Blog - by Daniel Rothenberg of Scope Chiropractic.

I asked Dan, one of Just Knead It's allied health referral network to talk about why it is important to work with health professionals who understand your sport.

Recently I travelled to Cairns and Japan with the Aussie Swim Team. It reinforced for me the importance of working with an allied health team with sports specific knowledge.

There is a difference between a health professional who understands injury and one who understands how and why you get tight - based of what sport you play. Also someone who has an in-depth understanding of what parts of your technique could be contributing to what they see in treatment, as well as what ranges of motion you need to perform at your best is essential. Have a read! This blog is good.

5 Reason's To Choose A Health Professional Specific to Your Sport.

As an athlete, dealing with pain and injury can be an exceptionally frustrating experience. Loss of fitness, loss of training and game time and the psychological stressors that may be associated could be minimized with a good, experienced health practitioner in your corner.

When seeking out professional treatments and opinions, a practitioner who has experience in your sport may be one of the best decisions you make.

Here are 5 reasons why working with a health professional that understands your sport is essential.

Minimize your time away from training- Probably the most important benefit of a good health practitioner is their ability to minimize your time away from training. A good early diagnosis, treatment and rehab will quicken your recovery process. The advice and education given relating to your injury will create a much healthier recovery environment.
Communicate effectively with your coaches- Coaches rely heavily on the feedback of your practitioner. A practitioner who understands your sport will understand what the coaches need to know. They can provide your coaches with actionable advice to get you back to training as soon as possible.
Provide specific and actionable advice- A good practitioner understands that injury doesnt necessarily mean stop training completely. More often than not, we are able to maintain some degree of training to upkeep our fitness levels. Your practitioner may have personal experience within your sport and can provide advice that is specific to your needs.
Prescribe exercises specific to your sport- Specificity of rehab is highly important for quick recovery. The unique movement patterns and physical requirements of a sport generally steers the direction of exercises prescribed during rehab. Providing specific rehab exercises will significantly help your recovery.
Create a strong sense of trust- The practitioner-patient relationship is one that is built on trust. The trust an experienced practitioner who understands your sport will provide to you will increase the likelihood of a good, efficient recovery.
