Rugby Injuries – What You Need to Know & How Physiotherapy Can Help
Rugby continues to grow rapidly in the UK, with more than 880,000 players taking part across over 1,800 clubs. It’s a sport built on speed, skill and physicality—but with that comes an increased risk of injury. Tackles alone account for around 45% of all match-related incidents, and certain injuries, such as concussion and soft-tissue trauma, are especially common.
In this guide, we break down the essentials: what concussion really is, how to return to play safely, where injuries most often occur, and why seeing a physiotherapist is one of the most effective ways to recover well and stay on the pitch.
At Head2Toe Physio, our clinicians work with rugby players of all ages and abilities—from grassroots to professional—to diagnose injuries accurately, guide safe recovery and keep you performing at your best.
