What is the FIFA 11+ Injury Prevention Program, and How Can Physiotherapy Help Me?

FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) launched an injury prevention program that offers a complete warm-up developed by their Medical Assessment and Research Centre (F-MARC). It targets amateur players who are 14+, both men and women, and has been proven through multiple studies that doing this program can help reduce injuries by 30-50%.

Key points include:
-Takes approximately 20 minutes and is divided into 3 parts (running, strength/plyometric/balance, running at high speed with cutting movements)
-Reduces risk of ACL injuries, hamstring strains, and ankle sprains
-Improves muscle control, coordination, and neuromuscular function
-Enhances performance with better movement
-Designed for use as a standard warm-up

Investing the time to properly care for your body before an injury occurs can save your entire season. Sports Injury Physiotherapy and Prehabilitation can help prevent injuries by improving muscle strength and flexibility, enhancing joint stability, correcting muscle imbalances, promoting proper movement patterns, supporting recovery between matches, and improving balance and coordination.

At Mainway Physiotherapy, we take a holistic approach to injury prevention, chronic pain, rehabilitation, and sports therapy. Our team of certified professionals will help you achieve an active and pain-free lifestyle by creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals.

How Can I Move Better and Feel Better after an Injury?

The Value of Mainway Physiotherapy

Have you ever experienced nagging back pain? A sore knee that just won't quit? Got injured during a sports game? Have you struggled with tight muscles after a workout? Or need help recovering from surgery? Most of us get accustomed to discomfort over time, hoping it will go away on its own or using medication to find temporary relief.

Physical pain or discomfort slows you down and can restrict your ability to focus on day-to-day activities, potentially leading to emotional and mental strain. Did you know that more than 30% of people living with chronic pain also struggle with anxiety or depression, which worsens the pain further? Chronic pain doesn’t just cause discomfort; it also messes up your sleep, mood, and confidence levels.

From sports injuries to injury prevention and prehab to rehab, it’s time to uncover the truth behind Physiotherapy and how it can improve your quality of life.

At Mainway Physiotherapy, we take a holistic approach to injury prevention, chronic pain, rehabilitation, and sports therapy. Our team of certified professionals will help you live an active and pain-free lifestyle by creating a personalized treatment plan centered around your goals. Book your appointment, and let us help you Keep Moving!

Whether you are recovering from surgery, dealing with joint pain, or managing a long-term condition, physiotherapy provides safe and effective support.

Helps reduce pain
Many people visit a physiotherapist for pain relief. This includes back pain, neck pain, or joint discomfort. Physiotherapy improves movement, strengthens muscles, and reduces pressure on nerves and joints. This leads to long-term pain relief.

Treats a wide range of conditions
Physiotherapy helps with muscle injuries, joint pain, nerve issues, and even recovery after a stroke or heart surgery. It is suitable for people of all ages, be they students, professionals, seniors, or athletes.

Builds strength and flexibility
Physiotherapy includes specific exercises that improve muscle strength and joint flexibility. This is useful if you are healing after a medical procedure or want to stay physically fit and active.

Enhances physical performance
Whether you are preparing for a sports event, exercising regularly, or managing daily tasks, physiotherapy helps improve how your body functions. It trains your body to perform better and move efficiently.

Prevents future injuries
If you have injured yourself while exercising or playing sports, physiotherapy can help you recover properly. More importantly, it helps identify and correct the cause of the injury so that it does not happen again.

Physiotherapy is a clinical treatment focused on restoring movement and function and addressing the underlying cause of musculoskeletal, neurological, or cardiopulmonary disorders. It aids in restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving overall function without relying on surgery or strong medications.

Physiotherapists are licensed healthcare professionals trained in anatomy, biomechanics, and exercise science. They assess movement impairments and design individualized rehabilitation plans incorporating manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, mobility drills, and injury prevention strategies.
