The basic function of a Physiotherapist in Sport is the application of treatment by physical means: electrical,
thermal, mechanical, hydraulic, and manual therapeutic exercises with special
techniques. The Physiotherapist in Sport focuses its objectives in the field
of sport and physical activity. Based on the definition of the WCPT on Physiotherapy in Sport,
this is the set of methods, techniques and performances, which through the use and application
of physical agents prevent, recover and readjust a person with sport or exercise injuries at different levels
The muscle spindle is a long thin nerve receptor found within the muscle.
Information from this receptor transmits information to the spinal cord
regarding muscle length and the speed of lengthening. When a muscle is
stretched quickly this muscle spindle fires and causes a reflexive contraction
within that muscle that is undergoing the stretch. The greater the speed of stretch,
the stronger the reflex contraction in the muscle being stretched.
Role and responsibilities of Physiotherapist-
