Sport and accidents

Sport and accidents

Salo Muller

Every week, accidents happen on sports fields and in sports halls: from very light to very serious, sometimes even fatal. At such unpleasant moments, how do referees, trainers, coaches, players, spectators come to the rescue?

Sometimes there are experts on the scene who can intervene responsibly, but unfortunately, all too often, ignorance leads to actions that are unfavourable rather than beneficial. So what to do in circumstances where sportsmen suffer an accident during the game?

Winterthur Insurances found Amsterdam physiotherapist Salo Muller willing to write articles worth reading about this (and other topics!). Salo Muller knows what he is talking and writing about, as he has gained quite a bit of 'routine': 14 years as a physiotherapist at Amsterdam's 'Ajax' - he also gained a lot of experience with Canadian professional (ice hockey and rugby players) in Toronto - not to mention his daily practice in the capital.
