Physiotherapy support for professional athletes and other  highly active people

Whether you are a competitive athlete aiming to do your best in your field, or a highly active fitness freak that values keeping their body in peak condition, physiotherapy can play a vital supportive role.

Avoid pain. Develop strength and function. Maximise performance while avoiding injuries.

We help with sports injuries, but prevention is so much better than cure.

Training for a marathon, planning a demanding mountain ridge run or looking to bench press those extra kilos? It all starts with a thorough assessment, including your body, its specific functionalities and your current training routine, not forgetting your aims and objectives.

From that, and if you have a PT or a coach, working with them towards a shared objective, we will develop a support plan whose aim is to safely and effectively improve performance while avoiding damaging injuries.

Some techniques and methods that might be useful are also used in injury rehabilitation, and include:

  • Strengthening exercises and other treatments that increase strength, general and aimed at specific muscle groups that need working on.

  • Soft tissue mobilisation: various forms of physiotherapy, used to relax muscles, calm the mind and promote faster recovery and performance gains.

  • Functional skills training: These vary from sport to sport, and must be fully consolidated and integrated using a knowledge of anatomy and physiology.

  • Identifying and managing various risk factors to avoid injury or re-injury.

  • Specific techniques used to treat problems that just don’t respond fully to traditional methods. Read more about the technologies that can help.

I have been working out in the gym and for a long time I had a problem with a painful elbow especially after a chest and triceps day. After one treatment of Shockwave I felt a big difference, like I had a new elbow. Thank you, Sebastian.
