Sports Injuries & Sports Performance

Whether you’re involved in recreational or professional sports, from time to time injuries are an inevitable part of athletics. Injuries not only have a negative impact on your performance but they may also cause you discomfort or pain. The good news is that proper treatment of an injury will facilitate a rapid recovery and return to your normal activities. We may also review your sporting techniques and habits in order to prevent a recurrence of injury.

Your first sports injury assessment will be with a physiotherapist. In addition, whilst you are rehabilitating, your therapist may recommend that you do some specialised exercise such as Pilates or have some Sports Massage.

Our sports physios specialise in prevention, recognition, management and rehabilitation of injuries that result from physical activity. We can also support you to ensure you are in peak performing condition.

If you’re out of action with an injury, we can get you on the mend and back in the game quicker.

Specifically, we will work with you on the following:

Injury prevention to minimise risk of injury
Recognition, evaluation, and immediate care of injuries
Rehabilitation and reconditioning injuries to return back to activity
Referral to appropriate professionals within our team such as sports massage therapists and podiatrists
Referral to sports doctors and consultants outside our team if needed
Healthcare administration, including medical and insurance record keeping, plus documentation of injuries
Strength and conditioning
Performance coaching

Most sports injuries can be treated by any of our physiotherapists. All our therapists have many years’ experience and all regularly treat sports injuries.
