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.
