Sports Club Medical Cover
Nationwide Physiotherapy & Sports Therapy Cover for Professional Sport
LiveWell Health provides professional sports clubs, teams and organisations with experienced Physiotherapists and Sports Therapists on a flexible, nationwide basis.
Whether you require emergency cover at short notice, additional support during a busy competition schedule, pre-season staffing, temporary sickness or absence cover, or additional practitioners for home and away fixtures, our team can integrate directly into your existing medical and performance department.
With a nationwide network of 150+ qualified Physiotherapists, Sports Therapists and healthcare professionals, we can provide reliable cover across the UK for individual fixtures, training sessions, tournaments, short-term placements and longer-term requirements.
We already support professional teams across football, cricket, rugby and other elite sporting environments, providing experienced practitioners who understand the demands, standards and time pressures of professional sport.
Flexible Medical & Therapy Cover When You Need It
Every club operates differently. That's why our service is designed around your existing medical and performance structure rather than offering a fixed package.
LiveWell can provide practitioners for:
- Training Ground Cover
- Pre & Post Match Player Treatments
- Matchday Physiotherapy & Sports Therapy
- Home & Away Fixtures
- Pre-Season Training & Camps
- Tournament & Competition Cover
- Short-Term Staff Shortages
- Sickness & Holiday Cover
- Additional Support During Busy Fixture Periods
- Seasonal & Longer-Term Placements
- Massage Therapist Cover
From a single practitioner for one training session through to multiple therapists supporting a club throughout a competition or busy period, we can build the level of cover around your requirements.
One Call. Nationwide Cover.
Finding an appropriately qualified practitioner at short notice can be difficult, particularly when your team is travelling or competing away from its usual training base.
LiveWell gives clubs access to a nationwide practitioner network through one central point of contact.
Tell us where you need someone, when you need them and the level of practitioner required, and our team will coordinate the cover.
This can be particularly valuable when travelling. Rather than sending additional personnel across the country or trying to source an unfamiliar local practitioner yourself, LiveWell can utilise its national network to arrange appropriate support close to where your team is training, staying or competing.
Our team manages the practitioner coordination, allowing your existing medical and performance staff to concentrate on the players.
Supporting Your Existing Medical Team
Our aim isn't to replace your existing Physiotherapists, Sports Therapists or medical department.
We provide an extension of your existing team.
Practitioners can work under the direction of your Head Physiotherapist, Medical Lead or Performance Team and integrate with your existing treatment protocols, rehabilitation programmes and player management processes.
This makes LiveWell suitable for everything from emergency one-day cover through to additional resource during demanding periods of the season.

What Our Sporting Partners Say
"LiveWell have supported us with our Match Day +1 recovery provision, providing professional massage therapists to work with the players following fixtures. The service has been reliable, well organised and the therapists have integrated seamlessly into our existing performance and medical setup. Having access to a trusted team that understands the demands of professional sport has been a valuable addition to our player recovery programme."
“We have used LiveWell to provide Sports Therapy and Massage support across both home and away fixtures. Their nationwide network has been particularly valuable, allowing us to arrange high-quality practitioners in different locations depending on our schedule. The therapists have been professional, experienced and able to integrate quickly with our existing team, giving us confidence that we have reliable additional support wherever we are competing.”
“When we needed additional clinical support while recruiting a new permanent Physiotherapist, LiveWell provided us with a flexible solution for approximately four months. They supplied Physiotherapy and pitch-side cover three times a week, including training sessions and matchdays, ensuring continuity of care for the players throughout the recruitment period. The ability to bring in experienced practitioners quickly and maintain consistent cover was extremely valuable and allowed our football operations to continue without disruption.”
More Than Practitioner Cover
For clubs requiring a wider recovery solution, LiveWell can also provide our LIVE|Recover Mobile Recovery Hub, creating a dedicated athlete recovery environment at training grounds, stadiums, tournaments and sporting events.
Depending on requirements, this can include:
Sports Massage • Physiotherapy • Sports Therapy • Compression Boots • Ice Baths • Steam Saunas • Recovery Equipment • Stretch & Mobility Areas • Taping & Strapping • Injury Assessment
This means clubs can use LiveWell for individual practitioner cover or bring in a much larger recovery operation when required.
