Sports Injury Physio Clinic

For specific sports injuries physio treatment and bio-mechanical diagnosis.

Muscular overload, ligament sprains, joint impact and knocks are all routine while training or competing at our chosen sports. But what should we do when the adrenaline levels drop, the body cools and we are left with pain, bruising, inflammation and swelling? Sports injuries that prevents us from enjoying our next Match, Ride, Run or Competition.

A Sports Physio has many advantages irrespective of whether you are pursuing an arduous training schedule for the next triathlon or just like to play ‘5-a-side’ once a week after work!

Seeing a Sports Physio at Life Physiotherapy will consist of not only Assessment and Treatment of the Injury itself.  But also a Full Bio-Mechanical Review taking into account the load demand on the body from your chosen sport, in conjunction with your personal technique.  Quite often Sports Injuries are not sustained from a fall or a collision.     Sports injuries are often a direct result of how we use our bodies as a mechanical structure.  Consequently not only about our technique but also due to how our bodies have grown and adapted over the years in response to seemingly unrelated habits and tasks.

Expert sports injuries physio treatment techniques facilitate the bodies healing process.  These include Manual Therapy, Acupuncture, Dry Needling and Sports Tape & Strapping. Instructions on the proper use of Ice or Heat as a therapeutic modality.

Helping re-calibrate the musculoskeletal system and condition the body. Minimising the risk of re-injury and maximising optimal preparation for the stresses, knocks and strains you will withstand while achieving your next PB!
