Have you sustained an injury playing sports?
We specialise in helping people recovering from sports injuries and offer personalised treatment solutions to help you return to your sport as quickly as possible.
Did you get injured while playing your favourite sport or was it a random or awkward movement that triggered it?
Whatever the cause for your pain, when you come to see us we will start with a precise assessment of the injury. This will help us get you back to training and moving normally as quickly as possible and make sure the injury doesn’t come back.

When treating a sports injury, we follow a proven treatment protocol:
Ease the pain
We will help your body recover by calming the pain, inflammation and bruising.
During the first days following your injury or operation, we have the choice of several treatments to help your recovery, e.g.:
Massage
Acupuncture
Taping
TENS
Advice on brace if required
At this point during your rehab process, your body needs rest to get over the trauma. This is an important step to recovery and the sooner you can be seen by a physiotherapist, the better!
Rehabilitation
Next step is to get you back to strength.
To get you back on your feet, we will establish a bespoke rehab programme for you.
As soon as your injured muscle, tendon, ligament or joint can start to move, we will encourage it to move. Doing this as soon as possible and in the right way will help you heal faster.
The right loading strategy is what will make all the difference. Additionally, we will look at the reasons for your injury.
This will help us decrease the risk of anything like that happening again.
“A sports injury doesn’t have to be an injury caused by exercise.
The term is used for all injuries that are caused by sudden trauma or a repetitive activity on a muscle or joint. If it hurts and limits your ability to be active and go about your life, it needs your attention.”
“It’s very important to time and plan your return to sports properly.
Do too much too soon and you will risk another injury.
We all have heard of someone resting for a few weeks after an injury, return to training without doing the right treatment and injure themselves all over again.”
