Things We Treat
Sports Injuries
Sprains, strains and overuse injuries, with a clear path back to your sport.
Sports injuries range from acute events such as ankle sprains and hamstring strains to gradual-onset overuse problems in tendons and bone.
Getting back to sport well means addressing both the injured tissue and the reasons it was overloaded in the first place.
Common symptoms
- Sudden pain during activity
- Swelling, bruising or instability
- Pain that builds over consecutive training sessions
- Loss of power, speed or confidence
- Recurring niggles in the same area
Common causes
- Rapid spikes in training load
- Insufficient strength for the demands of the sport
- Inadequate recovery between sessions
- Contact and collision incidents
- Returning to sport before rehabilitation is complete

Frequently asked questions
- How soon should I get an injury looked at?
- Early is usually better. An accurate diagnosis in the first week helps you avoid unnecessary time out and gives your rehabilitation a clear direction.
