What Is Sports Rehab?

Sports rehabilitation (or sports rehab) is a specialised branch of physiotherapy focused on the treatment and recovery of sports-related injuries. It includes a combination of techniques such as manual therapy, exercise programs, and education to improve strength, flexibility, and performance.

Common Sports Injures We Treat

Muscle Strains & Ligament Sprains

Ankle sprain from a bad landing or a hamstring strain during a sprint, these soft tissue injuries are incredibly common in sports. Our treatments focus on reducing pain, restoring flexibility, and strengthening the affected muscles to prevent recurrence.

Tendonitis & Overuse Injuries

Repetitive motions can lead to overuse injuries like tennis elbow, runner’s knee, or Achilles tendonitis. We’ll work with you to reduce inflammation, address any biomechanical issues, and modify your training to protect against future strain

Cuff Injuries

Shoulder injuries can significantly impact athletes in swimming, tennis, or throwing sports. From rotator cuff tears to shoulder impingement, we address the root cause of your pain and help you regain full mobility and strength.

Knee Injuries & ACL Tears

The knee is a vulnerable joint, especially in sports involving sudden changes in direction or impact. We provide physiotherapy for injuries like ACL tears and meniscus damage. Our rehab programs aim to restore stability and strength so you can move confidently again.
