    Our Academy has a permanent Physiotherapist in charge of our students. As football is a sport with obvious risks of injury, we have a competent medical staff in place to react with the appropriate people to resolve the problem of injury. Experience tells us to look after any injury however small, and we prefer to check with the professionals (physio, xray or scan) to make sure that we get to the bottom of every injury. At each of our Sunday’s games, our team (FM United) has the opportunity to have an assistant Physiotherapist on the field.
