Archive- January 2026: Physiotherapy at Old Edwardian’s Fc.
The early intervention and continuation of care in sports injuries is very important for professional footballers. Therefore, a prompt and accurate diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation program will reduce long term chronic injuries, accelerate the healing process, aid recovery and improve pain management. This may also involve the use of X-rays, ultrasound or MRI scans depending upon the severity/complexity of the injury.
Therefore, I am very grateful for the opportunity to work alongside Mr Ahmed Nurse Practitioner & Mr Cole Massage therapist the medical staff of Old Edwardian’s Football Club during early part of 2025/2026 Sierra Leone premier league season.
1. Donation of Physiotherapy First Aid supplies- Disposable medical gloves, anti- inflammatory gels, pain relief sprays, orthopaedic supports/brace for wrist, ankle, knee, thigh, groin and lower back. Football boots to be trialed for the suitability for playing on hard surfaces & artificial football pitch - injury prevention.
2. Continuation of care: assessments, treatments, diagnosing and designing functional rehabilitation exercises during training sessions and match day.
