Sports Injuries
Focus on your Rehabilitation and Return to Sport
Your first appointment will be no different from the usual physiotherapy consultation and evaluation. You will be asked specific questions related to your particular sport or even to demonstrate some movements. Your diagnosis and treatment plan will be discussed in the usual way.
Treatment is likely to involve the use of physiotherapy manual techniques, with possibly some taping and acupuncture, dry needling or electrotherapy within the treatment room combined with a more specific exercise based program. The aim is to return to full physical activity and your particular sport.
