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.
