Sports Injuries
Physiotherapy and sports injury rehabilitation
Are you a professional athlete or a weekend warrior? Or do you just like being active through exercising? Injuries that stop you doing the sport you love or result in reduced performance can be very frustrating. Sports injuries can vary from a slight constant niggle to torn ligaments to a broken bone and therefore management is variable depending on the nature and severity of your injury.
An understanding of sport in general and a high level of knowledge and skill is required in this specialist area of physiotherapy. All sports require different movement patterns and the ability to use your body in different ways to meet the demand. Knowledge of the sports specific biomechanics and movements involved is essential for recovery and also to prevent the injury reoccurring.
