Physiotherapy uses knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and functional movement of the body to detect an imbalance in the musculoskeletal system which is the source of your pain. This pain may be from a specific trauma or injury or it may develop for no apparent reason.

A lot of sports injuries will develop from a specific trauma and the treatment will normally involve soft tissue management, joint mobilisation and an injury specific stretching and strengthening programme. It is important to rehab this injury with sports specific exercises and introduce a gradual increase in intensity and load through the injured area.

Common examples of sports injuries that we treat include hamstring/calf/quad injuries, sprained ankle, rotator cuff/shoulder impingement, back pain, knee injuries and Achilles pain.

We will eventually return the person to full sports participation and if required liaise with the coach, manager and/or parents throughout this process.
