Shifting the Focus of Physiotherapy from Reactive to Proactive

The traditional physiotherapy approach primarily reacts to injuries. Daniel Munst, a sports physio, emphasizes the shift towards a proactive model. He advocates for preventing injuries by focusing on what individuals can do rather than what they can't. Munst highlights the importance of maintaining skills during injury recovery, such as dribbling drills or passing drills, instead of complete rest. By reframing physiotherapy to a pre-active approach, injuries can be addressed with a more holistic view.
