Sports Medicine Physiotherapy

Built for people who don't want to stop moving. Sports medicine physiotherapy assesses how you move, treats the specific injury, and builds the exercise plan that gets you back to your sport safely.

What it is

What is Sports Medicine Physiotherapy?

This stream is built for athletes and active people, from weekend runners to competitive players. Your physiotherapist examines your movement patterns and injury history in detail, then builds a plan combining manual therapy, targeted exercise, and — where useful — equipment recommendations like bracing or footwear.

It covers the full range of sport-related injury, from acute trauma like sprains and ligament tears to overuse injuries like runner's knee and shin splints, as well as more serious concerns like concussion or fracture that need a broader rehab plan.

Sessions typically run 30 to 40 minutes, and the length of your overall plan depends on the injury — anywhere from a single visit to a longer program for a more serious injury.

Your first visit covers a thorough movement and injury-history assessment before any hands-on treatment begins. From there, your physiotherapist builds a staged plan — treatment first, then a progressive return to training and competition as your tissue tolerates the load.
