Sports Therapy is a treatment approach which uses a variety of techniques to treat tight, sore, or injured soft-tissues.
Sports therapy effectively couples massage techniques with other, evidence based and effective treatment options for more targeted and efficient care. Using a mix of massage, joint mobilisation, needling, taping, and exercise our sports therapy team are able to help a range of patients get better and stay on top of their game.
Our sports therapists have additional training beyond your average massage therapist, allowing them to work with more complex cases and help treat specific complaints with specific techniques.
Sports therapy offers numerous benefits for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and everyday active people. It enhances performance by optimizing physical capabilities and preventing injuries through personalized treatment plans and targeted exercises. Whether you're dealing with acute or chronic injuries, sports therapy accelerates recovery ensuring you return to your activities faster and stronger.
Beyond injury management, sports therapy improves flexibility, mobility, and pain management, addressing the root causes of discomfort for long-term relief. Our holistic approach includes tailored programs to meet your specific needs, boosting your confidence and empowering you to perform at your best. With expert guidance, you'll achieve greater movement efficiency and overall well-being, enabling you to unlock your full potential.
Firstly, thank you for considering us to help you with your health concern!
Before your first Sports Therapy session you will be sent a form via email to fill in. This form will ask questions regarding your complaint and some questions about your general health status.
Your first Sports Therapy session will begin with a discussion about how we can help you! Following this, your therapist will conduct an examination to determine the areas of tension and injury. Finally, you will begin your sports therapy treatment.
This visit will last about 60 minutes in total.
Your Sports Therapist will outline a treatment plan which is appropriate for you. This will likely consist of several sessions in the first few weeks. Treatments may include the following treatment techniques depending on your individual complaint: manual massage, tool assisted massage (inc. hot stones), sports taping, dry needling (Medical Acupuncture), assisted stretching (inc. myofascial release techniques). This will be accompanied by appropriate exercise, home-care options, and lifestyle advice.
Each massage is approximately 50 minutes in duration.
We all need on-going support sometimes. We encourage all of our patients to maintain a healthy body through diet and exercise, proper sleep, hydration, and mindset. We also encourage many of our patients to receive on-going sports therapy, chiropractic care, or pilates to help manage the aches/pains associated with leading an active life to get the most out of their hobbies or sports.
