What is Sports Physiotherapy?

Sports physiotherapy combines hands-on therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and performance training to support your body’s natural healing process. It addresses the physical demands of sports and physical activity, including running, swimming, cycling, weight training, and team sports.

Physiotherapists who specialize in sports rehabilitation are trained to assess movement patterns, identify potential injury risks, and create personalized programs tailored to each individual’s sport, fitness level, and goals.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

Sports injuries may happen suddenly during activity or develop gradually due to overuse. We regularly treat:

  • Sprains and strains – Muscle or ligament injuries from sudden movement or impact

  • Tendonitis – Inflammation from repetitive activity

  • Ligament injuries – Including ACL, MCL, and ankle sprains

  • Fracture rehabilitation – Recovery after sports-related trauma

  • Shoulder injuries – Rotator cuff strains, instability, labral concerns

  • Knee injuries – Meniscus injuries, patellofemoral pain

  • Hip injuries – Labral irritation and muscular imbalances

  • Back and neck pain – Often related to poor biomechanics or load management

  • Overuse injuries – Shin splints, stress reactions, bursitis

Early treatment helps prevent minor injuries from becoming long-term problems.


Symptoms We Can Help Address

If you’re experiencing any of the following, sports physiotherapy may help:

  • Pain during or after activity

  • Swelling or stiffness

  • Limited range of motion

  • Muscle weakness

  • Joint instability

  • Recurring injuries

  • Slower-than-expected recovery

Our approach identifies not just the injury—but why it happened.
