Our sports specialists understand that good management of a sports injury
is key, which is why we do more than just treat the problem. We investigate
the cause of your injury and work with you to try and prevent the problem
from reoccurring.
At your first visit our chartered sports physiotherapists will look at
all the contributory factors to your condition, such as co-ordination,
biomechanics, habitual usage patterns and previous injury.
Sports Specific:
When assessing, diagnosing and treating a sports injury,
we consider the skills and physical demands involved in your specific
sport, along with the movement patterns and training required to achieve
optimum performance. All of these aspects need to be analysed to ensure
that your rehabilitation programme helps you return to your sport stronger,
more stable and conditioned than before your injury.
Video Analysis:
The use of video analysis allows us to watch your movement
patterns and identify potential injury problems and muscle imbalances.
We use this regularly with athletes such as golfers,
cricketers, netball players, soccer players and track athletes.
Advanced Exercise Rehabilitation:
As you recover from your injury, we will
structure your rehabilitation, incorporating flexibility, strength
and muscle balance, in a graduated but challenging programme.
This will be specific to your sport and tailor made for you. At this
point we may suggest you work alongside with our strength and conditioning
expert, or, if you prefer, we will liaise with your sports coach or personal
fitness trainer.
Musculoskeletal Analysis:
You don’t have to wait until you are injured
to have a musculoskeletal analysis. These are often used as a means
of identifying potential problems before they occur. A musculoskeletal
analysis takes up to an hour and is followed by a detailed report of
the problem areas you need to address. We will work with you to help
improve your physical ability and technique.
Athletes from all sports have found these to be very useful. In particular we offer this as part of our Golf Analysis, Movement and Performance Programme.
