Physical injury is the focus for a Sports therapist, they specialise in rehabilitation of all types of sports related injuries.
The term sports injury refers to the kinds of injuries that most commonly occur during sports or exercise. Some sports injuries result from accidents; others are due to poor training practices, improper equipment, lack of conditioning, or insufficient warm-up and stretching.
Although virtually any part of your body can be injured during sports or exercise, the term is usually reserved for injuries involving the musculoskeletal system, including the muscles, bones, and associated tissues such as cartilage. For example, tennis elbow, runner’s knee, breaks to bones, torn ligaments and torn tendons.
Sports Therapists are skilled in the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries related to physical activity.
We believe that prevention is better than cure, which is why we always strive to identify injuries and potential injuries early on, allowing us to incorporate preventative measures to avoid more serious or even permanent injuries.
Treatment and rehabilitation will vary from patient to patient, as we always take into account the unique requirements of each person we see.
