A Sports-Focused Physiotherapy Hub
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. Treatment Roadmap
From this, our team of physiotherapists will develop a custom treatment plan to address your sporting injury.
3. In-Clinic Hands-On Techniques
Our lengthier consultation slots ensure more personalised time with your physio, during which they’ll utilise approaches tailored to your needs, like remedial massage, joint mobilisation, and dry needling, to name a few.
4. Personalised Fitness Plans
At our centre, generic exercise sheets and standard printouts are a thing of the past. We prefer a customised strategy, making sure your plan is uniquely yours. And, we’re equipped with on-site Clinical Pilates!
5. Continued Care and Proactive Injury Safeguards
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.

What's the address of your physiotherapy practice?
Specific Physiotherapy, located at 149 Plenty Road, Preston, extends its sports treatment services to those living in Rosanna and the surrounding regions.
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.
Will you be able to diagnose the core reason for my sports-related injury?
The physiotherapists at our clinic are well-educated healthcare practitioners, aiming to provide a diagnosis during your initial session. However, additional tests might be required in certain situations. Whether a diagnosis is confirmed or not, we will work together to develop a plan that suits your goals.
Is Clinical Pilates included in the treatment strategy you'll devise?
While our treatment plans are customised to each individual’s needs, we proudly offer Clinical Pilates at our Preston physiotherapy clinic. It’s an ideal adjunct fitness activity for athletes, providing significant benefits for rehabilitation and injury prevention.
In what ways can a sports physiotherapist assist in preventing injuries?
Sports physiotherapy enables a preventative approach to injuries by detecting areas of weakness, imbalance, or restricted mobility in your individual musculoskeletal framework. With this information, we create custom exercise and conditioning programs aimed at addressing these issues while also enhancing your total strength, flexibility, and endurance. We also provide education on appropriate techniques for physical activities, allowing you to participate in your favourite sports with less risk and more confidence.
In what ways does sports physiotherapy vary from traditional 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 helpful for amateurs or non-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.
Can sports physiotherapy assist with injuries sustained in the past?
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?
The duration of recovery from a sports injury can differ based on the injury’s type and severity, your general physical health, and your response to the treatment. Our sports physiotherapists will offer a customised recovery schedule following your initial evaluation and will fine-tune this plan as your treatment advances.
What methods are employed by sports physiotherapists?
We utilise a diverse array of techniques such as exercise therapy, remedial sports massage, manual therapy, joint mobilisation, and dry needling. Collaborating closely with you, we identify the most effective treatment method to meet your objectives.
