What It Is
Sports Therapy is a specialist area of healthcare focused on the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal problems back to optimal health and sport-specific fitness. Whether you are an athlete, a keen gym-goer, or someone who simply wants to move better in daily life, Sports Therapy can help restore performance, reduce pain, and improve resilience against future injuries.
Common conditions
Sports Therapy uses a wide range of hands-on techniques and rehabilitation methods to support recovery, including:
- Sports massage to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation
- Manual therapy to restore movement and function
- Rehabilitation exercises to rebuild strength, flexibility, and stability
These approaches can help with recovery after injury, reduce the risk of recurrence, and encourage good muscle condition, balance, and posture.
What to expect
At your first appointment, our Sports Therapists will assess your injury, movement patterns, and physical goals. They can provide immediate care using techniques such as taping, sports massage, dry needling, and acupuncture, depending on your needs. They will also design a tailored rehabilitation programme, including corrective and strengthening exercises, to help you return safely and confidently to your chosen activity.
