Don’t Let Injury Stop You Performing at Your Best

Chelmsford Physio • September 26, 2023

As a physiotherapist, I see people of all ages and abilities who have been injured. Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, injuries can happen to anyone. But the good news is that there are things you can do to prevent injuries and get back to performing at your best as quickly as possible if you do get injured.


How physiotherapy can prevent injury

Physiotherapists are experts in human movement and function. We can assess your biomechanics, identify any areas of weakness or imbalance, and develop a personalised exercise program to help you strengthen those areas and improve your flexibility. This can help to reduce your risk of injury in the first place.




What to do if you are injured

If you do get injured, it's important to seek professional help as soon as possible. A physiotherapist can diagnose your injury, develop a treatment plan, and help you to rehabilitate and return to your chosen activity safely.


Here are some tips to help you prevent injuries:

  • Warm up before any activity, even if it's just for a few minutes.
  • Cool down after any activity.
  • Listen to your body and rest when you're tired.
  • Use proper technique when performing activities.
  • Wear appropriate footwear and clothing.
  • Make sure your equipment is in good condition.

Josh’s Journey to be a Chartered Physio

By Jon McComish • January 27, 2026
My journey to become a qualified Physiotherapist began with a desire to build on my existing experience in sport and private practice. Over the past two years, I’ve had the opportunity to complete a variety of placements, including stroke, respiratory, community rehabilitation and two musculoskeletal placements - one of which specialised in post-operative care. Each placement challenged me in different ways and enabled me to develop a deeper appreciation for patient-centred care across a range of settings. Throughout this time, I’ve been able to build on the skills I gained as a Sports Therapist while learning new approaches that have shaped a more holistic view of health and rehabilitation. Combining the strengths of both degrees has really helped me grow as a professional. The past two years have taught me invaluable clinical, professional, and personal lessons, and I truly believe they have played a key role in shaping me into a well rounded Physiotherapist.
