What is sports physiotherapy?
Whether you’re a weekend runner or back from surgery, sports physiotherapy gets you back to your sport at the level you were before. It works like general physiotherapy, but with a sharp focus on the demands of your sport, progressive loading, and clear return-to-play criteria.
What we treat
- Sprains, strains, and contact injuries
- Tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff)
- Post-surgical rehabilitation (ACL reconstruction, meniscus, rotator cuff repair)
- Overuse injuries from running, cycling, racquet sports, climbing, and team sports
- Concussion-related musculoskeletal symptoms
- Performance-limiting movement restrictions
How a course of treatment works
Assessment covers the injury itself and the demands of your sport. Treatment combines manual therapy, progressive loading exercises, sport-specific drills, and clear return-to-play milestones so you know when each next stage is safe.
For post-surgical cases, we work with your surgeon’s protocol and the timelines they specify, then guide the progressive loading and re-introduction of sport-specific tasks toward full return.
Insurance
We offer direct billing to major private insurers. Ask when you book.

Achilles Tendinopathy
Pain and stiffness in the Achilles tendon from overload, common in runners and after a jump in activity. Treated with progressive loading, not rest.

Rotator Cuff Injury
Shoulder pain and weakness from irritation or tearing of the rotator cuff tendons. Common in overhead athletes and after falls.

Pain and dysfunction at a tendon from repetitive loading. Often called tendinopathy, the modern term that better fits what's happening in the tissue.
