• strapping, taping, offering massage and preparing players, athletes or participants both physically and mentally.
• examining and assessing injuries and determining whether the athlete or participant can continue playing or taking part.
• examining and assessing injuries and dealing with traumas.
• treating injuries, alleviating pain, mobilising injuries, giving various types of massage.
