Introduction

Soccer has become a very popular game in the world. Almost all the nations play the game both for enjoyment and competition. Modern soccer is very fast by its nature and it demands high level of special fitness. The spectators and players enjoy the game of soccer with great amount of merriment. It is a game of constant action and requires continuous adaptation to the changing situation by the team as well as the individual players. Although it is a team game, there is an ample room for players to display their brilliancy through individual performance with the ball as well as through team play, involving technical and tactical knowledge. It is a game that sends people from all over the world into frenzy, creates national and international heroes too like Pele, the Great of Brazil, Diego Maradona of Argentina, Zico of Brazil, Platini of France and the like.

The surgical and nonsurgical management of soccer sports injuries benefit from effective collaboration of the treating surgeon, a physical therapist, and the injured soccer player. Physician to physical therapist communication often doesn’t include specific therapeutic modality prescription and a large variation in practice pattern for the use of therapeutic modality exists.

Many athletes have been injured at some point during their training or competition phase. It’s just a part of physical sports. Some minor injuries will feel better with rest and we will be able to return to sport. However, the likelihood of re-injuring the tissues goes up without intervention. This is partially because the affected body parts lose proprioception, a specialized variation of the sensory modality of touch that encompasses the sensation of joint movement. (kinesthesia) and joint position (joint position sense). This is also due to the tendons and muscles.

When a player gets injured, their primary goal is recovering from that injury and getting back to field as quickly as possible. For all serious injuries rehabilitation is key to restoring flexibility, endurance, strength and mobility. There is a myriad of therapeutic modalities including thermotherapy, cryotherapy, electrical stimulation, ultrasound and iontophoresis used to reduce pain, restore function and strength and improve mobility. Unfortunately our profession is running lack of such

emerging facilities, especially in schools, colleges, and local clubs coaching centres.
