Sports Injury Management
and Prevention
Sports physiotherapy is a type of physiotherapy that is specifically tailored towards sports injuries. No matter if you’re a professional athlete, working your way towards that goal, or a weekend warrior, anybody who plays a sport can acquire a sports injury. This is why prevention is so important, and is our focus over cure.
Physiotherapists who work with sports see more acute (new) injuries than chronic (12+ weeks old). Acute injuries often include muscles, ligaments, and tendon injuries such as rolled ankles, twisted knees, muscle tears, and sprains or strains.
Many injuries such as these may be avoided through careful injury prevention.
Care for
Sports Injuries
If you already have a sports injury, evidence-based and tailored treatment are the best tools we have in our wheelhouse. Evidence-based exercises have been scientifically proven to be beneficial and aim to improve the quality of sports health care, helping you to get back out there sooner.
Tailored Treatment Plans
Conditions
That Physiotherapy
Can Help With
Joint Injuries
Joint injuries can occur in any sport and can range from mild to severe. Common sports injuries that can affect the joints include bursitis, dislocations, fractures, and sprains or strains of ligaments and tendons.
Muscle Injuries
Weak muscles are more susceptible to injury, and can then lead to biomechanical issues, including such things as shin splints and tendon irritation. Common muscle sports injuries include tears, contusions, and corks.
Injury Prevention
Prevention is always better than cure. Sports physiotherapy can aid in injury prevention through education and exercises that focus on your individual needs.
