Is a GP referral required for a physio appointment?
You can easily schedule your appointment online without a GP referral, unless you’re coming in on an EPC Plan (Enhanced Primary Care Plan) for chronic conditions.
Are you able to determine the primary cause of my sports 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.
Will Clinical Pilates be incorporated into my tailored treatment plan?
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.
What role does a sports physiotherapist play in avoiding injuries?
Sports physiotherapy offers a proactive strategy for injury prevention by pinpointing potential weaknesses, imbalances, or mobility restrictions within your musculoskeletal system. From these insights, we craft personalised exercise and conditioning regimes that not only fortify these areas but also boost your general strength, flexibility, and stamina. In addition, we provide guidance on correct physical activity techniques, empowering you to engage in your preferred sports more safely and confidently.
What distinguishes sports physiotherapy from general physiotherapy?
Whereas general physiotherapy covers a wide range of musculoskeletal issues, sports physiotherapy is specifically aimed at addressing injuries and challenges related to sport and physical activity. Our team of sports physiotherapists is equipped with in-depth knowledge and experience in sports injuries, improving performance, and the specific demands of diverse sports, which helps them create a personalised treatment plan to support your unique sporting objectives.
Is sports physiotherapy beneficial for non-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.
Is sports physiotherapy helpful for managing injuries from the past?
Sports physiotherapy is particularly adept at managing long-standing conditions or old injuries. By assessing the injury’s impact on your current physical capabilities, a sports physiotherapist can develop a personalised recovery plan that targets reducing ongoing pain, increasing mobility, and restoring strength and function to the affected areas.
How long does it typically take to recover from a sports injury when undergoing physiotherapy treatment?
Recovery periods for sports injuries differ, influenced by the specific injury, its seriousness, your overall physical state, and your treatment responsiveness. Our team of sports physiotherapists will craft a personalised recovery timeline after your first assessment, making adjustments as necessary throughout the course of your treatment.
What methods are employed by sports physiotherapists?
We adopt numerous techniques, such as exercise therapy, remedial sports massage, manual therapy, joint mobilisation, and dry needling, to cater to your needs. In collaboration with you, we determine the most beneficial treatment approach to attain your goals.
