A Physio Clinic Where Sport Is Our Passion
At Specific Physiotherapy, managing sports injuries, averting them, and improving sports performance are areas our practitioners are particularly passionate about. Many of our physios have direct connections with professional athletes, notably AFL players, and possess experience from working in elite sporting environments at AFL clubs. Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store for you when you visit for sports physiotherapy treatment:
1. Personalised Evaluation
Firstly, we’ll begin with a thorough assessment, taking into account your current symptoms and your historical medical details.
2. Rehabilitation Strategy
From this, our team of physiotherapists will develop a custom treatment plan to address your sporting injury.
3. In-Clinic Hands-On Techniques
Owing to our extended appointment times, you’ll receive ample one-on-one time with your physio, allowing for the application of personalised techniques including remedial massage, joint mobilisation, dry needling, and more.
4. Tailored Exercise Recommendations
You won’t come across the usual exercise sheets and off-the-shelf handouts here. Instead, we opt for a bespoke approach, ensuring your program is specifically designed for you. Additionally, we provide Clinical Pilates on-site!
5. Continuous Support and Risk Mitigation
After your initial treatment, our team continues to stand by you for the long run. We take into account strategies for preventing injuries and lessening the likelihood of further injuries, in addition to improving your sports performance, so you can shine in your chosen arena.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist?
There’s no requirement for a GP referral to book your appointment online, except if you’re attending on an EPC Plan (Enhanced Primary Care Plan) for chronic conditions.
Is it possible for you to pinpoint the root cause of my athletic injury?
Our team of physiotherapists are extensively trained healthcare practitioners who endeavour to give a diagnosis at your first appointment. Sometimes, though, more detailed investigations are necessary. Even without a definitive diagnosis, we’re dedicated to working with you to formulate a plan that reflects your goals.
Can I expect Clinical Pilates to be included in my recovery program?
Our approach to treatment is personalised, catering to your individual needs. Among our offerings is Clinical Pilates at our Preston physiotherapy clinic, which many athletes find to be an excellent supplementary fitness activity. It’s also a valuable tool for rehabilitation and can help in preventing future injuries.
How can a sports physiotherapist work to avoid sporting injuries?
Through sports physiotherapy, we adopt a proactive method to prevent injuries by uncovering any specific weaknesses, imbalances, or mobility constraints in your musculoskeletal system. Utilising this assessment, we formulate customised exercise and conditioning routines that tackle these weak spots and simultaneously support your overall strength, flexibility, and endurance. We also offer insight into proper physical activity techniques, helping you to engage in your chosen sports with minimised risk and increased confidence.
In what ways does sports physiotherapy vary from traditional physiotherapy?
General physiotherapy encompasses various conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, but sports physiotherapy concentrates on issues and injuries associated with physical activity and sports. Our sports physiotherapists have extensive experience in sporting injuries, performance enhancement, and the particular requirements of different sports, making it possible for them to tailor a treatment plan that caters to your unique athletic goals.
Can sports physiotherapy assist individuals who aren't professional athletes?
Sports physiotherapy offers benefits to all individuals engaged in physical activities, irrespective of their competitive level. Whether you’re a casual participant, a dedicated fitness enthusiast, or simply someone aspiring to be more active, sports physiotherapy can assist in recuperating from injuries, averting potential issues, and maximising physical performance. The core principles of sports physiotherapy are relevant to every level of activity, facilitating secure and effective involvement in any sporting or exercise endeavour.
Can sports physiotherapy aid in addressing past injuries?
Utilising sports physiotherapy can be highly effective for chronic ailments or previous injuries. A sports physiotherapist will assess the injury’s scope and its repercussions on your current physical function, formulating a tailored rehabilitation plan designed to mitigate enduring pain, enhance mobility, and rejuvenate strength and functionality to the affected zone.
What is the usual recovery time for a sports injury with physiotherapy?
Healing times from sports injuries are variable, depending on the injury’s characteristics and severity, your general physical fitness, and your response to therapy. Our sports physiotherapists will devise an individualised recovery roadmap based on your initial diagnosis, adapting it as your therapy unfolds.
What methods are employed by sports physiotherapists?
Our approach incorporates various methods, including exercise therapy, remedial sports massage, manual therapy, joint mobilisation, and dry needling. We collaborate with you to pinpoint the optimal treatment strategy to fulfill your goals.
