At The Physio Lounge all of our Physiotherapists have experience working in elite sport, ensuring that you receive the highest level of care throughout the rehabilitation process.
Seeking professional advice following a sporting injury is essential to help identify the most appropriate effective, evidence based management plan to ensure safe and optimal return to performance.
Sporting injuries can be sustained in multiple ways; non-contact (twisting, lading, falling) contact (tackling, grappling), poor training practices (over/under training) lack of conditioning (muscle strength/control). Seeking professional advice following a sporting injury is essential to help identify the most appropriate effective, evidence based management plan to ensure safe and optimal return to performance.
During the acute phase of injury, pain, swelling and function loss are often inevitable. Being seen quickly by a Physiotherapist will help to ensure accurate diagnosis and to discuss the most appropriate management plan. Interventions such as manual therapy, acupuncture, and exercise intervention can all be used to enhance and accelerate improvements in symptoms. Functional reductions in muscle strength and neuromuscular control often come secondary to pain and swelling following injury.
Your Physiotherapist will work with you to enhance these deficits in a way that is bespoke to you and specific to the demands of your sport. Gym-based rehabilitation building into to sport specific pitch/court/ring-based conditioning are utilised to build strength, speed, power and confidence back into the injured athlete to enable them to maximize their recovery.
Your physiotherapist will provide you with an injury risk reduction programme specific to your needs in addition to further performance and lifestyle education to minimalise to risk of re-injury.
