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. Detailed Examination
To begin, we’ll conduct an initial assessment that will encompass both your current symptoms and your medical history.
2. Treatment Roadmap
Following that, our physiotherapists will devise a tailored treatment plan specifically for your sports injury.
3. On-Site Physical Therapies
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. Customised Workout Plans
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. Sustained Management and Injury Avoidance
Following your initial treatment regime, our team is dedicated to your ongoing support. We consider injury prevention and the minimisation of re-injury, as well as enhancing sports performance, to aid you in performing your best, whether that’s on the field, track, court, or stage!

Can you identify the underlying 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 treatment strategies are designed to suit your unique needs, however we do provide Clinical Pilates at our Preston physiotherapy clinic. It’s an exceptional complementary fitness option for athletes, offering great rehabilitation benefits and aiding in injury prevention.
How does a sports physio contribute to injury prevention?
Utilising sports physiotherapy, we take a preventative stance against injuries by identifying any weaknesses, imbalances, or mobility limitations unique to your body’s structure. Based on our findings, we develop tailored exercise and conditioning plans that not only mitigate these vulnerabilities but also improve your overall strength, flexibility, and endurance. We also offer advice on the proper execution of physical activities, enabling you to pursue your chosen sports with decreased risk and increased assurance.
What sets sports physiotherapy apart from conventional 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?
Absolutely, sports physiotherapy isn’t limited to professional athletes; it’s beneficial for everyone who partakes in physical activities. From weekend sports enthusiasts and exercise buffs to individuals seeking an active lifestyle, sports physiotherapy can support injury rehabilitation, prevention, and the enhancement of overall physical function. The strategies used in sports physiotherapy are universally applicable, ensuring everyone can safely and effectively partake in their chosen physical activities or sports.
Is sports physiotherapy effective for treating old injuries?
Sports physiotherapy can also offer a strategy for chronic issues or past injuries. A sports physio can determine the injury’s extent and its influence on your physical performance, devising a personalised rehabilitation strategy to ease lasting pain, boost mobility, and recover strength and functionality in the impacted areas.
What is the usual recovery time for a sports injury with 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?
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.
