SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY
What is sports physiotherapy?
Sports Physiotherapy is the specialised branch of physiotherapy which deals with injuries and issues related to sports people. Sports injuries do differ to everyday injuries. Athletes normally require high level performance and demand placed upon their body, which stresses their muscles, joints and bones to the limit. Sports physiotherapists help athletes recover from sporting injuries, and provide education and resources to prevent problems.

Who is the sports physiotherapy for?
We work with anyone who engages in sporting activities and whilst sports injuries are one of the leading causes of early retirement in sport, you don’t need to be a professional athlete to receive sports physio treatment.

Injury prevention is alway better than cure. You should always get checked over by health professionals to minimise your risk of injury. You physio will look at things like:
