- Self manage your injury with expert physio guidance
Coping with an injury whilst travelling can be especially difficult - where do you go for advice and help in a country whose health system you may not know and language you may not be fluent in? What do you do to minimise the impact of your injury on your travels?
Injuries to watch out for are sprained ankles from uneven pavements or back pain from lifting suitcases and sitting for prolonged periods.
Before setting out, we would encourage you to first explore our injury advice and articles. However, bear in mind that every injury is unique, so self managing your injury doesn't necessarily involve following a standard set of advice and exercises.
You could also try choosing a physio who can provide more help, with the specialist skills to help you to treat your injury through a personalised programme.
Many of the physios have travelled so appreciate the situation you could be in. We will therefore give priority to anyone who is travelling & seeking our help
Economy class syndrome has become the common name for when a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) forms whilst travelling.
Anyone working or doing activities in the countryside should be aware of Lyme disease and should check themselves, their pets and children for ticks after outdoor activities.
It is common to help heal an injury with ice. Deciding whether you should apply ice rather than heat, and for how long can make the difference between helping to heal your injury and making it worse.
For the inclusive package of £28, you receive a personalised injury self management programme comprising exercises and expert advice from your chosen physio.
Included in this price is a follow up assessment, which you can choose to take at any time within 3 months folllowing the initial assessment.
