At East Coast Squash Academy we are always getting our clients to think long term in order to increase their longevity on the court.
Squash can be quite hard on the body with injuries commonly occurring around the lower extremity (hip, knee and ankle) and lumbar regions of the back (1). If we had a dollar every time someone asked for help treating a rolled ankle, painful knee or tight lower back then we would have a lot of loose change!
As we are not specialists in assessing and treating injuries (we are specialists in coaching the sport of squash), we often refer out to a physiotherapist that specialises in this kind of area. A physiotherapist’s role is to “assess, diagnose, treat and prevent a wide range of health conditions and movement disorders” (2).
During his professional career, director Aaron Frankcomb considered seeing a physiotherapist as an “important aspect” of his overall training regime as it allowed him to “identify and manage structural weaknesses”. Post career Aaron has continued to see a physiotherapist once a month for "prevention, alignment and management".
For this reason, we have compiled a list of physiotherapists that we would recommend to any of our clients in order stay healthy and on court longer.
Every physiotherapist listed has directly worked with The Academy and has successfully treated a number of our clientele and/or high performance athletes.
