Sports Therapy for Recovery and Performance

Sports Therapists treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including muscle strains, ligament sprains, joint pain, tendonitis, repetitive strain injuries (like tennis elbow), and postural issues. They also help with rehabilitation after surgery or injury and focus on injury prevention.

Anyone with musculoskeletal issues can benefit from Sports Therapy, not just athletes. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or looking to improve your mobility, strength, or posture, Sports Therapy can help.

During your first session, the Sports Therapist will conduct a thorough assessment, including a discussion of your medical history and current symptoms. They’ll perform physical tests to identify the source of pain or dysfunction and then create a personalised treatment plan to address your needs.

Sports Therapists use a variety of techniques, including sports massage, joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitation exercises, stretching, taping, and strength training. They may also use modalities like dry needling/acupuncture, ultrasound, or laser therapy to support recovery.

The length of treatment depends on the nature of your injury and your individual goals. Some issues may be resolved in a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. Your therapist will provide an estimated treatment timeline after your assessment.

Yes! Sports Therapy isn’t just for athletes. It can help with everyday aches and pains, posture-related issues, work-related injuries, and general musculoskeletal problems. Whether your pain is from sitting at a desk all day or a weekend injury, Sports Therapy can help.

No, you don’t need a referral to see a Sports Therapist. You can book an appointment directly with us, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Wear comfortable clothing that allows your therapist to easily assess and treat the affected areas. For example, if your issue is with your legs or lower back, shorts are ideal. You may be asked to remove some clothing for certain treatments, but your comfort is always a priority.

Many insurance companies do cover Sports Therapy, but it’s always best to check with your provider before booking an appointment to ensure coverage. We can also provide receipts or documentation if required.
