What is Sports Therapy:
* Focuses on injury rehabilitation and prevention
* Uses a combination of hands-on treatment and exercise, a sports therapist will examine, treat, and guide you back to full, active, or occupational health.
* Sports Therapy isn’t exclusive to athletes or injuries caused by exercise.

Types of treatment our therapists may perform include:
▪ Joint mobilisation
▪ Guided stretch
▪ Soft tissue release
▪ Sports massage
▪ Exercise analysis and correction
After treatment, you will be given a set of exercises and stretches to regain strength and mobility in the affected areas. The prescribed movements will be taught to you carefully so that you are doing them safely and they will have the desired effect. From there you and your therapist can build a new regime to include the best exercises for you.
The end goal is not only to take away the pain but also to educate you on how and why you became injured. With your new knowledge, you can prevent further injury in the future.
