Star Physio Supports Fremantle United at the Singa Cup in Singapore
Star Physio was proud to deliver high-level soccer physiotherapy support to the Fremantle United Soccer Club as they travelled to Singapore in November to compete in the prestigious Singa Cup, one of Asia’s leading international youth football tournaments.
This year, the Fremantle United Girls Team produced an exceptional performance, finishing 4th overall and becoming the highest-ranked Australian team at the tournament.
Challenging Conditions & the Role of Soccer Physiotherapy
With hot and humid conditions placing increased stress on players, experienced soccer physiotherapy support was crucial in helping athletes maintain performance, recover effectively between games, and stay injury-free.
Star Physio’s Damian Oldmeadow, a physiotherapist experienced in soccer physiotherapy from his days working with AIS Soccer, travelled with the squad to provide hands-on care and athlete management.
Injury Management & Player Support
Throughout the tournament, Damian delivered targeted soccer physiotherapy treatment and injury management. Common issues included:
-
Ankle sprains
-
Knee pain and overload
-
A finger injury for the goalkeeper
A major focus of tournament soccer physiotherapy is keeping players hydrated and managing heat stress—both essential to performance and safety in Singapore’s tropical climate.
