Sports therapy is a crucial aspect of healthcare focused on diagnosing and treating injuries, as well as rehabilitation. Our goal is to help patients return to their optimal levels of functional, occupational, and sports-specific fitness, regardless of their age or ability. Additionally, we aim to assist them in preventing a recurrence of their injuries in the future.
The process includes a careful hands-on assessment and the use of relevant diagnostic tests to establish an individualised care plan. By employing a variety of treatments and techniques—such as structured exercise, massage therapy, pain management, and a comprehensive review of both physical and medical history—we aim to provide the best possible care for each patient.
Sports therapists utilise the principles of sport and exercise sciences, incorporating physiological and pathological processes to prepare patients for training, competition, and, where applicable, work.
