Treatment of Sports Injuries
Rehabilitation programmes are tailored to the specific demands of your sport and may include:
- Effective hands-on physiotherapy treatment
- Individualised gym-based rehabilitation
- Strength and conditioning progression
- Pitch or sport-specific rehabilitation sessions
- Return-to-play testing and performance preparation
A safe return to sport is essential. Returning too early without adequate rehabilitation significantly increases the risk of recurrence. Our physiotherapists use clear progression criteria at each stage, ensuring athletes achieve key physical markers before advancing.
Rehabilitation focuses on progressive loading of the injured area while conditioning the entire body, aiming to return athletes not just recovered — but physically stronger and more resilient than before injury.
Chronic & Recurrent Injury Management
Sports injuries can become long-term problems when recovery is incomplete. Common causes include:
- Returning to sport too early
- Misdiagnosis or ineffective management
- Inadequate rehabilitation
- Persistent movement or strength deficits
Common Chronic Injuries We Treat
- Recurrent muscle injuries (hamstring or quadriceps strains)
- Tendon pain and tendinopathy
- Groin pain and athletic pubalgia
- Persistent low back pain in sport
