Sports Physiotherapy

People who participate in sport (amateur or professional) perform specific repetitive tasks that can load up their tissues to the limit. This in turn can increase the risk of tissue damage and injury to muscles, joints, bones, ligaments, nerves and tendons. Sports Physiotherapy focuses on preventing injuries or treating pathology related to these specific movements.  injuries can occur in sports men and women of all ages and abilities. Treatments are  individualized to the persons activities, movement patterns, strengths and weaknesses. Generally treatment will involve education on training and competing schedules, strengthening and stretches.
