Day in the life of a Physiotherapist working in professional tennis.
⬇️
🎾Setup room, review emergency procedures and AED placement, fill ice bags
🎾 Review handovers from Physio’s from previous tournaments and flagged athletes (anaphylaxis location of EpiPen etc)
🎾 Treat athletes - I usually see about 15-20 athletes in a day this includes massage, cover and protect blisters, skin management, taping, manipulation, dry needling and on court first aid.
🎾 Pack up, debrief with officials
Days are long usually 10-12hrs always being on call
Best parts are getting athletes through the tournament who have niggles and injuries. I throughly enjoy the fast pace and at times high pressure environment.
As you can tell at times the weather isn’t that ideal ⛈️
