Physiotherapist Bryan Kelly Discusses Footballer Injuries

London, UK – One of the most popular sports in the world and certainly popular among amateur players, is the sport of Football. However, the sport is not without risk of injury, especially to knees and ankles. In order to help Ealing area Footballers, CK Physio (www.ckphysio.co.uk) has just published a new blog post authored by Bryan Kelly entitled 'London Physiotherapy Helps Football Athletes Bounce Back from Injury'.

Most athletes are injured during play, yet some seem to recover at a much quicker pace than others. In the realm of professional football, one of those who has quickly recovered recently is Luis Suarez, a player who won fame during the most recent World Cup Event for biting other players.

According to the article, the 'Uruguay national team and Liverpool striker was side-lined by a knee injury that confined him to a wheelchair, and required surgery in May. During the World Cup group stage, Suarez was unable to participate in Uruguay’s match against Costa Rica, but in the game against England, he redeemed himself by making two winning goals'.

The article further relates that 'Suarez’s injury was specifically a tear in the knee cartilage called the meniscus. When twisted or pulled beyond its limit, the cartilage gets pinched or torn apart, causing pain and swelling, and warranting surgical repair. Following surgery, physiotherapy is done to control the persistence of symptoms and restore mobility'.
