Sports injuries happen during sports or exercise and are often caused by overuse, direct impact, or excessive force.

Regardless of how they occur, sports injuries may impact sporting participation in terms of training and playing and also cause discomfort in daily life.

Treatment for Sports Injuries
Your physiotherapist will conduct a detailed and thorough diagnosis, examining the events leading up to the injury, and the onset of the pain, as well as assessing your overall musculoskeletal health. This enables physiotherapists to work towards determining the structural cause of pain and the specific course of action needed. Furthermore, physiotherapists aim to identify any potential weaknesses or movement disorders that may have contributed to the cause or are impeding your healing process.
Once your diagnosis has been established, your physiotherapist will explain the treatment plan and the process of returning to sport. Typically, this involves an initial rest period followed by a gradual reintroduction to activity using rehabilitative exercises. Physiotherapists also collaborate with coaches and other medical professionals to ensure your recovery is carefully guided, not rushed, and customised to meet your needs.
