Cricket, lovely cricket. ๐
But behind every six, dive, and spin is a body taking serious hits literally and figuratively. ๐ค
Did you know cricket puts unique strain on different parts of the body depending on your role?
๐ Fast bowlers often deal with lower back, shoulder, and knee stress from repeated high-velocity movements.
๐Batters face hand, wrist, and elbow strain especially from power shots and awkward landings.
๐Fielders, especially in T20 matches, do a lot of sudden sprints, slides, and dives, putting hips, hamstrings, and ankles to the test.
Thatโs where physiotherapy plays a vital role not just in recovery, but in injury prevention, mobility, and performance enhancement.
In the fast-paced world of T20 cricket, where quick reactions and explosive movements are non-negotiable, keeping the body in optimal shape is just as important as time in the nets.
The game may last 20 overs, but the physical toll lasts much longer. Cricket may be a game of skill and strategy but staying in the game? That takes care, conditioning, and consistency.
So the next time youโre watching a match or heading out to play, spare a thought for the body behind the brilliance and all it takes to keep it going strong. ๐ช๐ฝ๐ช๐ฝ
