How Can Physiotherapy Help With Sports Injuries?

Whether you're a weekend athlete or a competitive player, sports injuries can sideline you quickly. Our physiotherapists provide hands-on treatment and structured rehabilitation to get you back to training and competing safely, with clinics in Annerley, Runcorn, Capalaba, and Waterford West.

What Sports Injuries Do We Treat?

We commonly treat:

• Sprains and strains

• Ligament and tendon injuries

• Shin splints and stress-related injuries

• Overuse injuries from training or repetitive movement

• Post-injury and post-surgery rehabilitation

What Should I Do Immediately After a Sports Injury?

In the first 72 hours after a sports injury, follow RICE: Rest (avoid moving beyond your pain limit), Ice (20 minutes every 2 hours, wrapped in a damp towel), Compression (firmly bandage to control swelling), and Elevation (raise the injury above heart height). Once assessed, our physiotherapists will also give you tailored advice on warm-up and warm-down routines, correct footwear, protective strapping and bracing, and sport-specific conditioning to help prevent re-injury.
