The main goal of this study was to ascertain the role of a physiotherapist in the healthcare service model of the basketball club. By increasing the demand for sports, athletes are exposed to greater burdens, both during the competition and training. In order to bring the sport closer to the audience, which is a major source of income in sports, there is an increasing number of competitions organized so that athletes are given the opportunity to promote themselves better, but they also shortened the time needed for rest and recovery. All of this leads to the overload of an athlete's organism, especially the locomotor system, which is then more susceptible to certain damage and injury. It mentions enough about the importance of sports medicine, especially physiotherapy, in modern sports. Physiotherapy does not only find its task in the field of treatment and rehabilitation but also in the area of injury prevention. If the basic principles of sports injuries are applied correctly and in a timely manner, even severe injuries requiring surgical treatment are healed faster and with a better functional result. After early rehabilitation and reduced pain and swelling, access to functional rehabilitation is aimed at achieving the fastest recovery and the safer return of athletes to sports arenas. Physical therapists in sport are mostly engaged in rehabilitating injuries, but the role of the physiotherapist in injury prevention should not be ignored. In cooperation with a fitness coach, in addition to exercises, a physiotherapist must educate athletes about quality prevention and how to properly apply it. Of all the aforementioned physiotherapist will gain more and more important in sport, both in rehabilitation programs and injury prevention. Cooperation between physiotherapist-athlete is in any case the most important for the team as a whole.
