Preventing re-injury
Physiotherapists are trained to assess athletes’ biomechanics, strength and flexibility to identify injury risk factors. By addressing these issues proactively, a physiotherapist can help prevent sports injuries before they occur.
Often, sports injuries are caused by repetitive or excessive load on an area of the body. A physiotherapist can identify these overload or reduced conditioning risk factors and develop an appropriate exercise program to improve the balance of muscle groups around the injured site.
It can prevent the recurrence of an injury and help an athlete return to sport without injury. Our physiotherapists are also happy to work closely with an athlete’s coaches and trainers to ensure that the injury recovery process is managed smoothly so they can get back in the game as quickly as possible.
