Sports Injury Management
Sports Injury Management is dedicated to preventing injuries, enhancing performance, and ensuring effective recovery for athletes and active individuals. Our approach includes targeted techniques like specific muscle activation, biomechanical correction, and tailored rehabilitation plans for injuries such as ligament tears or rotator cuff issues. By addressing the underlying causes of injuries and optimizing movement patterns, we not only aid in faster recovery but also minimize the risk of re-injury. Whether you're aiming to get back on the field or improve your physical resilience, our sports injury management services are designed to help you achieve your goals safely and effectively.
Ligament Sprains
Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other and keep your joints stable. For example, knee ligaments connect your thighbone to your shinbone, forming a joint, which lets you walk and run. A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament. The ones most likely to get injured are in your ankles, knees, and wrists. Our Physiotherapists have a great deal of specific clinical experience in the management of soft tissue injuries. Our highly skilled Physiotherapists will provide expert treatment for your pain as well as prescribing specific exercises to treat your injury, reducing your risk of re-injury and giving you a long-term solution.
Sports Injury Taping
Sports injury taping is a widely used technique in athletic training and physiotherapy to support muscles, ligaments, and joints. It helps prevent injuries, reduce strain during physical activity, and promote faster recovery from existing injuries. There are different types of taping methods, such as rigid taping for joint stability and kinesiology taping for muscle support and improved circulation. When applied correctly, taping can reduce pain, limit unwanted movement, and provide confidence to athletes as they return to their sport. Always consult a trained professional for proper taping techniques to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Ankle Sprain
Have you ever lost balance and suffered a foot twist, while landing on your ankle? If yes, then this is a condition of “ankle sprain” An ankle joint instability can occur due to the injury to the bone or muscular structures, ligaments like the lateral, medial, and syndesmosis injury play a major role in ankle instability. An ankle sprain occurs when one or more ligaments of the ankle are stretched or torn. If a sprain is left untreated, it can lead to long-term ankle problems. Depending on the severity of the ankle sprain, our physiotherapist designs a treatment program to enhance the healing process and advises to return to activities and sports. The physiotherapy interventions include the use of ice packs, heat packs, modalities like TENS, Ultrasound, and exercises.
Muscle Sprain
While different sports can lead to a variety of injuries, muscle strains are among the most common. Also referred to as muscle tears or pulled muscles, these injuries typically occur when a muscle is stretched beyond its normal range due to sudden pressure or movement. Commonly affected areas include the lower back, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calf muscles, especially during rapid acceleration or deceleration. A range of treatments is available to help reduce pain and swelling, and to promote complete recovery. Physiotherapy plays a key role in this process, offering sports-specific rehabilitation programs tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.
Tennis/Golfer’s Elbow Stiffness Rehabilitation
Tennis elbow (or extensor tendinopathy) is inflammation within the tendons on the outside of the elbow. These tendons connect the forearm muscles to the arm bone. These muscles move the wrist, hand, and fingers. Physiotherapy is an effective treatment for tennis elbow. Golfer’s elbow is caused by overuse of the tendons on the inside of the forearm. It is a common injury in activities that require a lot of use of the wrist and hand. Physiotherapy is important in the treatment of tennis/golfer’s elbow. A physiotherapist will diagnose the problem, establish its severity, and determine an appropriate treatment plan. This may involve activity modification, soft tissue treatment such as electrotherapy, massage and stretching, and progression through a series of specific strengthening exercises.
Shin Pain
Shin splints refers to inflammation occurring where tendons attach to the shin bone. Physiotherapy is an important treatment for shin splints. Shin splints are caused by overuse, Shin splints cause pain on the inside border of the shin bone (tibia). It is usually painful as you begin exercising, however, the pain may subside as you continue to exercise. Physiotherapy is very important in the treatment of shin splints. Initially, your physiotherapist can confirm your diagnosis and establishing the severity of your injury. From this, an appropriate treatment plan will be developed. This may involve Exercise Programmes, Electrotherapy and Taping
