Sports Physio

Sports Physio

Sports Physiotherapy is the treatment of specific musculoskeletal injury, pain, or abnormal movement resulting from a sudden traumatic or overuse injury from sport or physical activity. Sports physio provides a way of sustaining your active lifestyle by treating any musculoskeletal imbalances, areas of weakness, or tension that may lead to injury occurrence.

We understand the impact of musculoskeletal injury or pain on your sport. We also acknowledge how pain can have a flow-on effect on your lifestyle and even mental well-being; sport and exercise are beneficial for more than just your physical health. We take the time to listen and understand all the factors that are important to you, to keep you active while you are rehabilitating.

Our Approach to Sports Physiotherapy

Physio is driven to achieve the gold standard of clinical care and deliver on your goals. Regardless of whether you are recovering from surgery, an elite athlete, part of a community team, or anything in-between, we are motivated to help you achieve your fitness objectives.

Our physiotherapists take one hour for a thorough initial assessment, and 30 minutes for all follow-up appointments. We address your unique musculoskeletal biomechanics, the physiology of injury recovery, and any holistic psychological and social factors at play in your presentation. We believe the time for detail, education, and explanation is fundamental. With advanced technology, fully equipped gyms, and confidential treatment rooms, we are primed to help you achieve success.

Why our sports physiotherapy works

Effective Sports Physiotherapy requires high-level Manual Physiotherapy and detailed progressive Rehabilitation Physiotherapy. Manual therapy [hands-on treatment] settles initial symptoms and pain, then facilitates restoration of normal movement. Rehabilitation Physiotherapy helps with future injury prevention. A thorough and tailored program will restore, maintain, and optimize your stability, muscle activation, strength, and ultimately, your sporting performance.

Your Manual Physiotherapy program may consist of:

• Managing initial, acute-stage pain, swelling, or muscle tension
• Joint mobilisations or manipulations
• Soft tissue therapy, muscle energy techniques, and mobility work
• Taping, bracing or offloading an injury area
• Dry needling and Cupping therapy
• Passive movement facilitation technique
• Education about the injury

Your Rehabilitation Physiotherapy program may include :

• Restoration of normal movement to the level you enjoyed pre-injury, to an improved level, tailored to your sporting pursuits or goals
• Developing the strength you need for specific goals or desired outcomes
• Retraining for both dynamic or static activities or spots t ensure correct technique.
• Step-by-step programming to safely achieve full recovery
• Education and explanation of causative factors, timeframes to recovery, and management strategies throughout your journey
• Empowering you to self-manage, understand, and engage in your recovery
• Communication with workplaces, personal trainers, coaches, and specialists to ensure your best outcomes in all areas of life.
