It is not only needed after an injury but during training too. It is a movement science. We are also focusing on treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of injuries. We are receiving a great response so far. We will hold an Assessment and Counseling Camp as well. We will assess and identify various aspects of fitness of children and hand them over charts to help them know where they stand and where they can improve their fitness," Shafi said.Nuzhat Gul, the Secretary of J-K Sports Council said, "Physiotherapy is vital. Because if a player is fit only then he will be able to play. Player should know how to prevent injuries. Sports scientists and physiotherapists have a huge role in telling the players the Dos and Donts to prevent injuries."Dr. Taaliya Qadri, while talking to ANI, talked about the results of screening of player's flexibility."We did a screening of players here. It is sad that the flexibility of a lot of players is extremely poor, which is a big cause of injuries. 25 out of 35 girls have been deemed unfit to play in the screening."Players also shared their thoughts on the importance of physiotherapy and their experiences with this science."Physiotherapy is important. I remember having a leg sprain that could not be healed by having medicines for 2 months given by an orthopaedist. But a visit to a physiotherapist healed it in two weeks. Physiotherapy is important for players since we train excessively and our body takes a lot of load. With the rise in sports culture, we need advanced physiotherapy," said Afreen Haider, a Martial Arts player.Shabir Ahmad, a Football player said, "I have been playing football since 10 years and indeed, physiotherapy is important in preventing injuries. In fact, it is important not only for sportsmen but for people in other fields too."( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
