Esprit Sport Physiothérapie (Lausanne)

Sports physiotherapy is still little-known in Switzerland, but in recent years it has expanded enormously, not only in terms of demand from athletes, but also in terms of supply, with numerous post-graduate courses currently on offer for physiotherapists. The sports physiotherapist maintains a very special relationship with the athlete when he or she is injured, in order to do everything in his or her power to ensure a rapid return to sport. The physiotherapist must also be present when the athlete is well, to avoid any possible injury. The close relationship between the athlete, the physiotherapist, the sports physician, the trainer and/or the physical trainer is essential.

This athlete-specific physiotherapy includes injury prevention, appropriate physical testing, athlete evaluation and reassessment, and post-injury rehabilitation. The sports physiotherapist present at training sessions, clinics and competitions will also take care of "pre- and post-exertion" care, as well as any emergencies that may arise during the competition.
