The Role of A GSR

A therapist that delivers sports rehabilitation is classed as a Graduate Sports Rehabilitator (GSR). A GSR is highly skilled in providing a range of relevant and carefully tailored intervention strategies to the physically active, to allow continued optimal participation in their chosen activity. The skills used include recognition, evaluation, and assessment, immediate care, treatment, rehabilitation, reconditioning and prevention from further injury.

Sports rehabilitators have graduated with a degree in Sports Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention and are recognised by the British Association of Sports Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT), the United Kingdom professional body for GSR’s. The Sports Rehabilitator offers the individual unique skills to allow continued optimal participation in their chosen activity.
