Sports Injury Physiotherapy
Sports physiotherapy is an advanced service designed to assess and treat sports specific injuries. Athletes and sporting individuals can put high stress on their muscles, joints and bones to achieve greater performance levels. This can sometimes lead to injuries due to increased biomechanical imbalances which can affect overall performance.
Our sports physiotherapy service can address both acute and chronic injuries and not only help individuals to recover but also provide education in order to avoid further injury in the future.
Quick help matters
If symptoms don’t improve in 2 weeks, book in so we can assess and guide your recovery.
5 top tips for managing acute sports injuries
Reduce or eliminate aggravating activities.
Apply ice and compression within the first 48 hours if swollen or inflamed.
Stop strenuous exercise to avoid further injury.
As symptoms settle, gradually increase activity or seek guidance first.
If no improvement within 2 weeks, book an assessment for a safe return to sport.
Benefits of sports‑specific physiotherapy
There are many benefits of sports specific physiotherapy which can enhance overall performance and reduce the risk of injury. Benefits such as quicker pain relief, improved flexibility, increased strength and stability of affected joints and reducing scar tissue formation can help to improve overall function.
Why early treatment matters
Recent studies have shown that if a sports injury is left untreated it will take longer to heal and will likely cause more chronic symptoms in the future such as early onset of arthritis. Returning to exercise too soon can aggravate pain and prolong recovery.
