Part of being a footballer means that from time to time you will unfortunately get injured.There is not one professional footballer that has not been injured in all of their time playing and the unfortunate truth for professionals is that approximately four players every year have to retire due to injury,with the average age of a professional footballer now down to 28 years of age when they retire.

The benefit for players in the modern game these days is that advances in science, investment into football allows football clubs to be able to afford the latest technology and more inportantly to gain the best and most qualified physios and doctors that the football game has ever seen.

With the connections that Sells Goalkeeping Academy has we are now able to offer tips on injuries, treatments, symptoms and as well as offering our very own Physio Simon Parsell of Rushden and Diamonds Football club. Simon is as well as being a fully qualified child liason officer,  Rushdens physiopherapist so any keeper needing professional advice on injuries or treatments or wish to see simon for a consultation then please email simon at simon.parsell@sellgoalkeepingacademy.co.uk

Remember footballers work with physios and not against them. This is your career and you must enhance your chances of playing, and staying injury free is your first step.
