Sports physiotherapy & event medical cover
Qualified therapists, pitchside when and where it matters.
Playwell provides chartered sports physiotherapists and therapists for events, tournaments and sports clubs. Led by an international-level physio, with one point of contact and the right people on the day.
Who we cover
Built for the people who run sport.
Event organisers
Tournaments, festivals, mass-participation events, charity matches and school fixtures. We scope the cover against your risk assessment and arrive with the right kit.
Sports clubs
Season-long matchday cover and injury clinics for amateur, semi-professional, academy and international sides, so players are seen quickly and coaches know who is fit to play.
Schools & governing bodies
Schools, universities, county and national bodies that need safeguarding-aware, DBS-checked practitioners and a clear record of every treatment given.
Services
Everything from the first whistle to the follow-up.
Event medical cover
Qualified physiotherapists on site for the whole of your event, with pitchside trauma kit, taping and strapping, and acute injury management. Scaled to the size and risk of the event.
Matchday physio for clubs
A regular physio on the touchline every game. Pre-match preparation, in-game assessment and an honest call on whether a player goes back on.
Injury clinics and rehab
Clinics at your ground for assessment, hands-on treatment and structured rehabilitation plans that get players back on the pitch safely.
Pre-season screening
Musculoskeletal screening across your squad to flag risk early, set conditioning priorities and give coaches a clear picture before the season starts.
Pitchside immediate care
Practitioners trained in pitchside immediate care, with concussion management that follows your governing body's protocols.
Medical planning and reporting
A written medical plan before the event and an injury log afterwards, so organisers, insurers and governing bodies have what they need.
How it works
Booking cover should be the easy part.
Tell us about it
Sport, dates, venue, numbers and level. A short form, an email or a WhatsApp is enough to start.

We turn up ready
Our team arrives early, meets your organiser, checks the site and is set up before the first whistle.
Clear handover
Every treatment is logged. Injured players get written advice and onward referral where needed.
