ATHLETIC TRAINING & SPORTS INJURIES
Sports Injuries and Athletic Training
Strength. Power. Speed. Agility. Coordination. Balance.
It is not only aspirational, but also absolutely necessary. Especially after an injury. No matter how fit you are, sports injury is always a possibility. Yet, a sportsman knows how to face challenges and overcome them. He has to not only cure himself, but also get back to his chosen sport with full ability – return to the field!
Athletic training is the emphasis on mentally engaging and physically exercising to improve mobility and performance to a level where the person is a fully capable sportsperson again.
An injury needs doctor’s treatment, but it also needs longer term engagement with rest, recovery, right guidance, and very focused and calibrated training.
VKCC provides preventive and rehabilitative care for sports injuries for athletes and sportspersons and indeed, for any kind of injury. It requires mental courage and physical effort – and we provide coaching for that.
