Treatment for Sports Injuries

Your physiotherapist will complete a detailed and thorough diagnosis, assessing the events leading up to injury, the onset of the pain, as well as considering your overall musculoskeletal health. In this manner, physiotherapists aim to determine the structural cause of pain and the specific course of action it requires. Moreover, physiotherapists aim to determine potential weaknesses or movement disorders that may be contributing to the cause or are preventing you from healing.

After determining your diagnosis, your physiotherapist will discuss the treatment plan and the steps to return to sport. Typically, an initial period of rest is followed by a gradual reintroduction to activity with some rehabilitative exercises. Physiotherapists also collaborate with coaches and other healthcare professionals to ensure your recovery is well-guided, not rushed, and tailored to your needs.
