Sports physio's - medical science or modern day witchcraft?

The human body is a hugely complicated system of parts that is beyond most of us to understand. Regularly pushed beyond its limits by modern life we generally take most of it for granted. That is until it stops us in our tracks and those grand plans for your next sporting milestone have to go on hols while you struggle with an ache, pain, pull or tear. When these moments strike us it is often the job of the sports physio to put us back together and get us going again. These qualified professionals with certificates on their walls decipher these signals from our bodies and translate them into fixes with little help from us. They watch us move and probe at muscles quickly able to identify that some previously unknown body part is now misbehaving and needs some attention. How they do this is either the amazing world of science or their sixth sense witchcraft skills coming to the fore as they bend us back into shape and highlight how we have been abusing our bodies for the past decade. Epic.
