Thursday 25th February 2010 Withdrawal of Physiotherapy cover will have detrimental effect on injury recovery time, return to match fitness and return to work The Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists (ISCP) has today voiced their concerns that the recent decision by the GAA to limit Physiotherapy reimbursements as part of its player injury scheme will have a negative effect on player health and welfare. The scheme had, in the view of ISCP, erroneously reimbursed many treatment disciplines under the overarching ‘Physiotherapy’ category, not solely those provided by medically recognised Chartered Physiotherapists.
