WHAT IS SPORTS THERAPY
Sports therapy is a type of rehabilitation that utilizes the same modalities as a musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapist. Its purpose is to assist athletes and active individuals in recovering from injuries and enhancing their performance using various physical therapy techniques, including hands-on manual therapy, massage techniques, exercise programs, and other interventions. Its primary goal is to prevent, manage, and treat musculoskeletal injuries, promote healing, and restore physical function.
Your sports therapist will perform a complete injury examination and assessment, provide an initial diagnosis of your acute or chronic condition, determine the root cause of the problem, and create customized treatment plans tailored to your individual needs. They will also help you in injury rehabilitation.
A sports therapist can assist you in a variety of conditions, including poor biomechanics (faulty movement patterns), postural problems, muscle soreness and tears, ligament sprains, chronic or acute injuries, everyday aches and pains, as well as back, neck, and shoulder pain or tension.
