Sports Injuries

Sports Injuries occur through a number of reasons, but the need for proper rehabilitation is frequently overlooked.

 

However what is most important is to treat the injuries as soon as possible after they have occurred - this is because scar tissue will soon form, which can lead to inflammation and micro-trauma which, if left untreated may cause

Treatment given depends on the type of injury, but will usually include a body assessment in order to determine any associated irregularities (e.g. posture) which may be inhibiting recovery.

Advice on a rehabilitation programme will be given to facilitate recovery. These treatments can be given even if the injuries did not arise directly from sport.

 

Sports therapy uses a range of therapeutic techniques for the prevention, recognition and treatment of minor sports injuries. It can also be used to provide support with people wanting to maintain and improve fitness.  

A typical session will involve appraising the injury using a number of techniques including posture analysis,  as well as soft tissue assessment. The session itself may include soft tissue therapy, mechanical and electrical treatment.

Sports therapy may be used to address an extensive range of injuries. It may also be found to be helpful in the mental preparation of athletes for sporting participation.
