Sports Injuries

Sports physiotherapy is concerned with the early diagnosis and treatment of muscle injuries. The
treatment goal is to rehabilitate the injury as quickly as possible and ensure an early return to
functional activity or sport. Sports physiotherapy also has a role in the prevention of injury.

Sports physiotherapists prescribe specific exercise programs tailored to the needs of individuals with
levels of sports participation ranging from that of the lay person or recreational sports person to the
elite athlete.

Physiotherapists also advise on appropriate sporting and everyday equipment, providing protection,
supports, splints and appliances for optimal performance and safety.
