        <p>
Athletic performance is closely linked to physical health, endurance and injury prevention. Conventional sports medicine primarily focuses on physiotherapy, orthopedic interventions and rehabilitation. However, an integrated, holistic approach is required to optimize recovery and long-term well-being which forms the
basis for Sports Ayurveda. Ayurveda offers personalized injury management for both acute and chronic sports injuries by following basic Ayurvedic treatment principles and also uses valuable insights by eminent physicians. This could be in the form of internal medication, various kriyakrama and dietary advices to aid in musculoskeletal healing. Ayurvedic rehabilitation strategies combined with modern techniques enhance recovery and promote overall well-being.</p>
