Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Sports injury rehabilitation is a process that helps an athlete or non-athlete recover from injuries and return to their sport.
Sports injuries are a common occurrence among athletes and non-athletes alike. The most common types of sports injuries include sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, and contusions.
With the Sports Injury Rehabilitation service, our sports physiotherapists can help with injuries that occur during sport-specific training, competition and social sports, as well as injuries that may not be related to sport. This includes musculoskeletal injuries such as shin splints, tendonitis, stress fractures, and back pain. And it can also be used in rehabilitation after an injury.
What to expect from your Sports Injury Rehabilitation?

Based on the above evaluation, your therapist will discuss the future treatment plan that will guide you to a triumphant return to your sport, how long you will have to come to therapy, and what you can expect over that time frame. You will have the opportunity to ask as many questions as you need, to feel comfortable about the road ahead and understand your treatment plan.
