What is Sports Physiotherapy?

Sports physiotherapy focuses on treating and preventing injuries related to physical activity. It involves tailored rehabilitation programmes, strength training, and movement assessments to help athletes recover effectively and reduce the risk of future injuries.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

Athletes and active individuals are prone to various injuries due to the repetitive strain and high impact involved in sports. Some of the most common conditions we treat include:

  • Sprains & Strains – Ligament and muscle injuries caused by overstretching or sudden movements

  • Tendonitis & Overuse Injuries – Inflammation of tendons due to repetitive stress

  • ACL & Knee Injuries – Common in sports involving jumping, pivoting, and sudden stops

  • Shin Splints & Stress Fractures – Pain and small bone fractures caused by excessive impact

  • Rotator Cuff Injuries – Shoulder pain and weakness due to muscle or tendon damage

  • Ankle Sprains & Instability – Caused by rolling or twisting of the ankle
