Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to illustrate the importance of psychology for a professional working in sports rehabilitation and to provide you with some practi- cal ways of applying psychology in your practice. Psychology has been used with injured athletes in two main ways; firstly in identifying those at risk of injury, and secondly in enhancing recovery. In addition, helping injured athletes to develop psycho- logical skills, such as goal setting or imagery, will ensure that they are not only ‘physically fit’ follow- ing sports rehabilitation but also ‘mentally fit’ for their subsequent return to sport (Murphy 2005).
