Some people call them 'physios', and others call them 'trainers'. Sometimes they are referred to as 'sports medicine practitioners', 'physical therapists', or 'team nurses'. These are the people who provide medical care in order to rehabilitate and return high-achieving athletes to full activity in the shortest period of time. All professional soccer teams and clubs have a person with one of these titles. Now, your youth team or club can, as well.
