Sports Injury Physio & Injury Recovery

 If you’re searching for a Sports Injury Specialist or Sports Injury Doctor, you may benefit from seeing a Sports Physiotherapist first. It can be a bit confusing when you have pain and don’t know where to go first. If you have a musculoskeletal injury or pain, it’s best to skip a visit to your General Practitioner and head straight to your Sports Physio for your Sports Injury Specialist needs.

What is Sports Physiotherapy?

Sports Physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the prevention, assessment, and treatment of injuries related to sports and physical activities. Health professionals in this field, work with active people and athletes of all levels to optimise performance, prevent injuries, and facilitate exercise rehabilitation. We like to apply a holistic approach, considering the biomechanics, the musculoskeletal system, and functional movements specific to you and your goals. Sports Physiotherapists use various techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, and injury-specific rehabilitation programs to address and manage sports-related injuries. Our goal is not only to treat injuries but also to enhance your overall well-being, promoting a faster and safer return to your activity. My goal is to get you back to functional movement as quickly as possible. Let’s do this!

Rehab & Sports Injury Specialist Needs

As your Sports Injury Physio, I’ll provide you with a full assessment and decide if scans are necessary for your diagnosis. Most times, expensive scans are not necessary. If you do require any scans, I’m able to write your a referral and give you a detailed treatment plan all in your first appointment. Heading to a Sports Physio, instead of a Sports Injury Doctor, can save you on annoying wait-times and money. Early athlete injury assessment and management result in better outcomes and quicker recovery, which is why I aim to see my clients within 48 hours of you reaching out to me.

FAQ’s About Sports Injury Physio

  • A Sports Doctor is a sports medicine physician in a clinic who deals with complex sports injuries and provides injury diagnosis and treatment, imaging, medication and more invasive approaches if the client has not seen results with conservative Physio. The sports doctor can help with an accurate diagnosis however the physio will generally treat your injury. Generally, Sports Physios will refer their client to a sports doctor clinic for extra support, further imaging and seek a medical opinion once the client has already engaged in rehab. The Sports Physio will offer sports specific diagnosis, offer physio treatment hands on therapy, conservative rehab and if the client needs further intervention, will involve the sports doctor as a collaborative approach in caring for their patient. It really is a team effort in dealing with complex cases and so the physio and doctor will work together to get the best outcome for their client.

I’m able to treat sports injuries from a range of sports and specialise in musculoskeletal treatment and rehabilitation. Whether you’re wanting to simply move better or get back on the field, I can create a treatment plan for you today.

  • It’s not uncommon for me to hear that other therapists have told their clients this myth. Assessing movement patterns, potential muscle imbalance, stiffness and getting to the bottom of the root cause of pain plays a vital role within a sports injury clinic or studio. Sports Injury Physiotherapy is about problem solving the biomechanical issues and pain of someone rather than showing someone a static x-ray of their ‘faults’ and booking them in for never ending ‘adjustments’. This is why expert Physiotherapists, with their valuable knowledge and experience are able to diagnose, treat pain, guide strength and conditioning rehab and restore function. I’m here to empower my clients to get better quickly instead of wanting you to keep coming back. If you want an experienced physiotherapists second opinion, Please contact me! I’d love to answer any questions : )

  • Injuries occur for everyone at some stage of life. Whether it’s a muscle strain, ligament sprain or fracture, I’ve got you covered.

    For best results, I spend a good chunk of time asking questions and assessing clients to get the root cause diagnosis and then give clients the treatment they need. Experienced Sports Physio’s wouldn’t be proper Physio’s without a strength and conditioning / mobility rehab plan. Return to sport plans are also included to guide clients back to their former glory! I treat sports injuries and ‘normal everyday’ injuries
