Athlete Treatment Support Program – YMCA Athlete APP

Hong Kong athletes lack a solid support system for treatment and injury support, often relying solely on professional teams or their financial capacity to meet treatment needs. Athletes may reduce their clinic visits due to financial constraints, leading to a repetitive cycle of injuries, decreased training quality, and long-term impacts on their competitive level. In response, our department has launched the Athlete Support Program to provide customized professional sports medicine and physical training support to young athletes at preferential rates. This initiative aims to reduce injury risks, enhance training stability, and improve competition results, assisting athletes in overcoming injury challenges.

The treatment team for this program consists of registered physiotherapists and sports rehabilitation instructors. Through movement analysis, athletes will be categorized into injured or non-injured athletes. Non-injured athletes can enter the Prehab stage to improve their athletic weaknesses through preventive treatment, reducing injury risks. Injured athletes will first enter the Rehab stage for physical therapy and rehabilitation before receiving preventive treatment. Finally, in the Performance stage, therapists will plan a comprehensive training schedule for athletes to help improve training quality and competition results.
