Sports Therapy although is similar to physiotherapy, we are still within health care, however we specialise with Musculo-skeletal pain and injuries. We use a mix of hands on treatment, patient education and exercise programs. We use the latest research, advise, assessment and exercise tools to find the cause of your pain. This makes your treatment specific to you, to help you recover to full function and prevent the risk of re-injury. Irrespective of whether your injury or pain is from elite sport, surgery, arthritis, gardening, work or anything else non-sporting related.
Injury Clinic
We treat anything from calf pain when running, gardening injuries, road traffic accidents to pre and post operative rehabilitation. Our main goal is to get to the route of your problem. We don’t just treat pain with massage and hands on treatment, we use the latest evidence and assessment tools to find the cause of your pain allows us to provide you with evidence based advise, guidance and a specific, individualised treatment and exercise program to help you recover, restring full function and prevent the risk of re-injury.
When injuries reoccur, often this can be due to lifestyle patterns, training and exercise load, or weakness and compensation in muscle groups that lead to repetitive strain. It is our job to try and break this cycle to try and reduce your pain and any future occurrence.
