Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy - About Us
The MSA Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy team is made up of experienced allied health professionals who work closely with student-athletes as part of the MSA High Performance Preparation program. Our goal is to provide high-quality, individualised injury management that supports students not only in their recovery, but also in their overall development as athletes.
We take a student-centred approach, recognising that injury recovery is influenced by physical, emotional and environmental factors. Student-athletes are supported by a collaborative team that may include parents, coaches, teachers and medical staff, all working together to guide a safe and confident return to sport.
Our Approach to Injury Management
Where appropriate, we aim to keep students engaged in their sport and training while they recover. This may include:
Continuing to participate in technical training in a modified or supported way
Ongoing involvement in strength and conditioning programs suited to their stage of recovery
Education and support across key areas such as training load management, nutrition, sleep, mindset and recovery, delivered in collaboration with the broader performance services team
Our focus is on helping student-athletes recover well, reduce the risk of re-injury, and return to performance in a way that supports both their sporting goals and long-term wellbeing.
