We would like to work with you to achieve your goals through sports injury physiotherapy.
Athletes, professional or amateur, are pushing their bodies to reach top performance and top capacity to beat a personal best or to play hard for the support of their teammates. Each athlete may represent a club or depend on their performance for income, just like a worker at their job. Or the amateur athlete is in it for the challenge of achieving self-set, coach-set and therapist-set goals.
In such, it is important for athletes to be in top condition, to prevent sport injury, to overcome injury and/or to be free of injury. And although injury is inevitable as athletes push their bodies to the limit and strive for better performance in their sport, injury handled by a physiotherapist using sports injury physiotherapy techniques will restore and rehabilitate function and/or previous function and return to sport.
In addition, sport athletes, being in tune with their bodies, notice that even in times when there is not sport injury or pain, there can be a lack of progression of mobility or flexibility or strength in certain limbs or techniques. In this case, a biomechanical analysis and analysis of strength and length tension and neural mobility and function can be beneficial. This is the physiotherapist’s area of expertise. There are times where a joint may be stuck or decreased in its range of motion needing manual therapy as part of sports injury physiotherapy.
Sports injury physiotherapy works to optimize strength, flexibility, biomechanics, power, performance and joint mobility through treatment.
Various tools are used by physiotherapists to attain an athlete’s goals, and a team approach, health care coach, and associated care team are important, especially when it comes to successful return to sport. After injury and during injury rehabilitation, these tools are applied in a treatment plan to return to sport with time efficiency and in a safe manner.
Each athlete’s treatment plan will differ as per their sport, their biomechanics, their injury, and their goals and aspirations.
