Sports Therapy

Whether you’re an athlete, gym-goer, weekend warrior, or simply dealing with an injury that is affecting your day-to-day life, sports therapy can help you move better, recover stronger, and get back to doing what you enjoy.
A sports therapist assesses and treats a wide range of muscle, joint and soft-tissue injuries, helping to reduce pain, improve movement and restore strength and function. Treatment is tailored to your individual injury, lifestyle and goals.

More than just treating the injury
Sports therapy isn’t only about reducing pain. Your therapist will work with you to understand what may have contributed to the problem and develop a treatment and rehabilitation plan designed around your needs.
Depending on your assessment, treatment may include soft-tissue techniques, joint mobilisation, stretching, strengthening exercises, mobility work, rehabilitation exercises and advice on training, movement and injury prevention.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, struggling with persistent pain or looking to prevent injuries from holding you back, sports therapy can help you work towards better movement, strength, confidence and performance.
