What Is Sports Physiotherapy?

Sports Physiotherapy is a form of physical therapy that specifically treats sports related illness and injury. As athletes perform vigorous levels of activity that place strain and demand on their bodies regularly, their treatment must be tailored to this high intensity lifestyle. Sports Physiotherapy offers treatment specific to sports men and women so that their recovery is suited to their fitness requirements.

What To Expect?

Much like traditional physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy uses a range of techniques which include, but are not limited to joint mobilisation, manipulation, muscular and myofascial release, trigger point release, manual therapy, dry needling, and exercise therapy.

Treatment performed by sports physiotherapists differs from traditional physiotherapy in that sports people tend to develop sports related, specific injuries.

Sports Physiotherapists use a range of “hand on techniques” including:
  • Joint mobilisation
  • Manipulation
  • Muscular and myofascial release
  • Trigger point release
  • Manual therapy
  • Dry needling
  • Exercise therapy
  • Recommended active treatments such as rebalancing exercises, clinical Pilates, orthotics, taping, hydrotherapy and electrotherapy (for example ultrasound).
