Common Sports Injuries We See

Some of the most common problems we assess and treat include:

Muscle Injuries

Sports therapy is often used for hamstring strains, calf strains, quad injuries, groin pain and other soft tissue problems. Treatment focuses on pain reduction, tissue recovery, strength rebuilding and a safe return to activity.

Tendon Injuries

We regularly help patients with Achilles pain, patellar tendon pain, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow and rotator cuff-related tendon issues. These injuries often need a structured rehabilitation plan rather than rest alone.

Ligament Sprains

Ankle sprains, knee sprains, wrist sprains and similar injuries can lead to ongoing instability if not managed properly. Sports therapy can help restore movement, control and confidence.

Running Injuries

If you run regularly, issues such as shin pain, IT band-related symptoms, calf tightness, Achilles pain and knee pain can often be linked to loading, mobility, strength and movement mechanics.

Gym Injuries

Weight training and functional fitness can sometimes lead to shoulder pain, lower back pain, tendon irritation and muscle strains. We help identify the cause and build a practical rehab plan around your training goals.

 

What Treatment May Include

Your sports therapy treatment plan will depend on your symptoms, lifestyle and goals. It may include:

• Detailed injury assessment

• Hands-on treatment

• Soft tissue work

• Sports massage

• Mobility work

• Exercise rehabilitation

• Strength and conditioning support

• Movement analysis

• Return to running support

• Return to gym programming

• Injury prevention advice

• Training modification guidance

We do not use a one-size-fits-all approach. Every plan is tailored to the individual, whether your goal is pain relief, rehab, improved performance or safe return to sport.

 

What Happens at Your First Sports Therapy Appointment?

Your first appointment will usually include:

1. A discussion about your symptoms, injury history, training and goals

2. A physical assessment looking at movement, strength, mobility and problem areas

3. An explanation of what may be causing the issue

4. Hands-on treatment where appropriate

5. A personalised rehabilitation plan

6. Clear advice on what to do next

The aim is for you to leave with a better understanding of your injury and a practical plan for recovery.

Sports Therapy FAQs

Is sports therapy only for athletes?

No. Sports therapy can help anyone with musculoskeletal pain, injury, stiffness, reduced mobility or exercise-related problems. You do not need to play sport at a high level.

Both can help with injury assessment, treatment and rehabilitation. In a multidisciplinary clinic like ours, sports therapy and physiotherapy can complement each other depending on your symptoms, goals and recovery needs.

Can sports therapy help with back pain?

Yes, in many cases sports therapy can help with back pain, especially where it relates to movement issues, muscle strain, gym injuries, reduced mobility or exercise-related aggravation.

Can sports therapy help with running injuries?

Yes. Sports therapy is commonly used for running-related injuries such as calf problems, Achilles pain, knee pain, muscle tightness and overuse injuries.

What should I wear to a sports therapy appointment?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement and makes the affected area easy to assess, such as shorts, leggings, a t-shirt or gym wear.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on the nature of the injury, how long it has been present, your goals and how your body responds to treatment and rehabilitation. After your assessment, you should be given a clearer plan.
