Premier football League (PFL) team managers who are directly involved with the players and are involved in the top management of teams were involved in the study
The current study shows that team managers have good knowledge of the role of physiotherapeutic treatment of sports injuries which includes ice and massage, even though a limitation on treatment modalities was observed in the current study instrument
Summary
There are evidence-based treatment protocols on the clinical management of injuries in football. The rehabilitation is an approach which emphasizes controlling inflammation, restoring muscle balance, improving soft tissue flexibility, enhancing proprioception and neuromuscular control, and efficient returning to sports [3]. The second phase is to improve strength and flexibility of the injured structures by starting with isometric exercises as soon as possible after injury [4]. Literature on team managers’ knowledge of the role of sports physiotherapy in sport teams is limited [7] It is not very clear whether team managers understand the importance of fully rehabilitating the injured player before he returns to sport [8]. The literature shows that professional players often play and train while not fully fit and are, exposed to a high risk of re-injury [9]. Some players tend to play in spite of not being fully rehabilitated owing to pressure from supporters, the coach, other players and the management of the team; they fear losing their positions and support [10]
