Sports Injuries

Sport, exercise & keeping active is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.

Unfortunately, a common result of being active can be injury. Sports injuries are very common, they affect all types of sportsmen & women, from the complete novice to the professional. Common injuries can occur as a result of over training, a collision, a fall, using the wrong equipment or having a poor technique.

Whether you're a professional athlete, a weekend warrior or a seasoned marathon runner, goPhysio can assess & treat your injury, getting you back to your chosen sport fast. We also have a valuable role to play in 'Prehabiliation'. Prehabilitation is becoming very popular with it's role in actually preventing injuries. We can carry out detailed screening to assess and help you minimise your risk of injury by finding 'weak' areas in your body. We can help you with an action plan to address these 'weak' areas, getting your body 'fit' for your chosen sport. This can not only prevent injuries but also enhance your sporting performance & enjoyment.

Treatments for sporting injuries can include taping, acupuncture, electrotherapy (e.g. ultrasound), manual techniques such as myofascial release & soft tissue massage and specific exercise programmes.

We have a large team of experienced physiotherapists who not only treat & screen for injuries but also actively partake in a range of sports; from barefoot running to kite surfing, from skiing to horse riding. Our team members have a wide range of clinical, professional & personal experience to tailor your treatment to your individual goals, getting you back to what you enjoy doing as quickly as possible.
