What is involved in Sports Physiotherapy?

A thorough assessment of your sports injury, getting an understanding of the cause of the pain or injury is essential in order to fix it! All potential causes of your injury will be examined and used to plan your sports rehabilitation programme ensuring a full and speedy recovery. Having worked with a variety of different sports in both Ireland and abroad we are experts in sports injury management and have extensive experience across many different sports and their specific injuries.

Once a diagnosis is made, the rehabilitation process begins. We use the best treatments in sports rehabilitation. This may involve hands on treatment including sports massage, and dry needling to help ease the pain and stiffness. Then there will be a strong focus on exercise therapy, using knowledge of strength and conditioning, running prescription, load management, movement control, flexibility, performance enhancement and sports injury prevention.
