A Physiotherapy Practice With a Love of Sport
Our professionals at Specific Physiotherapy hold a specific interest in sports injury management, its prevention, and the enhancement of sports performance. Quite a few of our physiotherapists have ongoing engagements with professional sportspeople, AFL footballers among them. Their backgrounds are enriched with experiences in elite sports contexts, notably within AFL clubs. On your visit for sports physio care, here’s what you should expect:
1. In-depth Assessment
Initially, we’ll commence with an evaluation, focusing on your existing symptoms as well as your medical background.
2. Rehabilitation Strategy
Following that, our physiotherapists will devise a tailored treatment plan specifically for your sports injury.
3. In-Clinic Hands-On Techniques
With our extended appointment durations, you’ll enjoy increased one-on-one time with your physiotherapist, who will apply techniques specifically chosen for you, including remedial massage, joint mobilisation, dry needling, among others.

Here, we steer clear of routine exercise sheets and commonplace handouts. Rather, we embrace a tailored approach, providing a plan that’s custom-fitted to your needs. Plus, we offer Clinical Pilates right on our premises!
5. Sustained Management and Injury Avoidance
Our support extends beyond just your initial treatment plan. We focus on injury prevention and reducing the risk of re-injury, alongside enhancing your sports performance, to ensure you’re at your peak!

FAQs
Where can I find your physiotherapy clinic?
You’ll find Specific Physiotherapy at 149 Plenty Road, Preston, where our physiotherapists cater to sports-related needs for individuals from Glenroy and its surrounding locations.
Is it necessary to obtain a referral from a general practitioner to visit a physio?
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.
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.
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 sets sports physiotherapy apart from conventional 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.
Can sports physiotherapy assist individuals who aren't professional athletes?
For sure! Sports physiotherapy is immensely beneficial for all individuals involved in physical activities, not solely for professional athletes. It serves weekend athletes, fitness lovers, or anyone wishing to embrace a more physically active routine. Sports physiotherapy contributes to recovering from injuries, warding off future injuries, and elevating physical prowess. Its principles are universal, making it a valuable resource for safely and effectively engaging in any sport or physical activity.
Is sports physiotherapy helpful for managing injuries from the past?
Sports physiotherapy can play a crucial role in treating chronic conditions or lingering injuries. A sports physiotherapist can evaluate the severity of an injury and its effect on your present physical abilities, then craft a customised rehabilitation program aimed at reducing persistent discomfort, enhancing mobility, and rebuilding strength and functionality in the impacted region.
What is the typical duration of recovery from a sports injury with the support of physiotherapy?
The time it takes to recover from a sports injury varies, dependent on the nature and gravity of the injury, your overall physical condition, and your responsiveness to therapy. Our sports physiotherapists will establish a tailored recovery plan after your initial assessment and will modify it as your treatment progresses.
Which approaches do sports physiotherapists typically use?
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.
