Have a Question About Sports Physio?
Sports physiotherapy can be used to take a proactive approach to prevent injuries by identifying any areas of weakness, imbalance, or limited mobility in your individual musculoskeletal system. Based on these assessments, we can design customised exercise and conditioning programs that not only address these vulnerabilities but also enhance overall strength, flexibility, and endurance. We can also provide education on proper techniques during physical activity, so you can participate in your chosen sports with reduced risk and greater confidence.
While general physiotherapy focuses on a range of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, sports physiotherapy specifically targets issues and injuries related to physical activity and sport. Our sports physios have knowledge and experience in sporting injuries, performance enhancement, and the demands of various sports, allowing them to tailor a treatment plan that meets your unique athletic based goals.
Absolutely! Sports physiotherapy is beneficial for anyone engaging in physical activity, regardless of their professional status. Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a fitness enthusiast, or someone looking to lead a more active life, sports physiotherapy can help in injury recovery, prevention, and optimising physical performance. The principles of sports physiotherapy apply to all levels of physical activity, ensuring safe and effective participation in any form of exercise or sport.
Sports physiotherapy can be an effective treatment in addressing a chronic condition or old injury. A sports physiotherapist can assess the extent of an injury and its impact on your current physical function and design a tailored rehabilitation plan that may help to alleviate lingering pain, improve mobility, and restore strength and function to the affected area.
Recovery time from a sports injury can vary depending on the nature and severity of the injury, your overall physical condition, and how you respond to treatment. Our sports physiotherapists will provide a personalised recovery timeline based on your initial assessment and adjust it as treatment progresses.
We employ a number of different techniques that may include exercise therapy, remedial sports massage, manual therapy, joint mobilisation and dry needling. We work with you to determine the most effective treatment approach to achieve your goals.
