Treatment for Sports Injuries

Your physiotherapist will conduct a detailed and comprehensive diagnosis, evaluating the events leading up to the injury, and the onset of the pain, as well as considering your overall musculoskeletal health. This approach allows physiotherapists the opportunity to identify the structural cause of pain and determine the specific course of action it requires. Additionally, physiotherapists aim to identify potential weaknesses or movement disorders that may have contributed to the cause or are hindering your healing process.

After determining your diagnosis, your physiotherapist will go over the treatment plan and the steps to resume sports activities. Typically, there will be an initial period of rest followed by a gradual return to activity with the assistance of rehabilitative exercises. Physiotherapists also coordinate with coaches and other healthcare providers to ensure your recovery is well-guided, not rushed, and aligned with your specific requirements.
