What Can Sports Physiotherapists Help With?

After undergoing orthopedic surgery, it's essential to engage in a structured post-surgical rehabilitation program to regain strength, flexibility, and function. Our physiotherapists will work with you to develop a personalized rehab plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. Through a combination of exercises, manual therapy, and education, we will help you recover faster and return to your normal activities.

Muscle Stiffness: Sports physiotherapists can help athletes deal with muscle stiffness, which is often caused by overuse or improper stretching techniques. Through a combination of manual therapy, stretching exercises, and strength training, they can help improve flexibility and reduce stiffness.

Muscle Spasm: Muscle spasms can be incredibly painful and can hinder athletic performance. Sports physiotherapists are skilled in identifying the root cause of muscle spasms and developing a treatment plan that includes corrective exercises and hands-on techniques to alleviate spasm and prevent future occurrences.

Crepitus - Cracking Joints: If you experience cracking joints or crepitus during movement, it could be a sign of joint dysfunction. Sports physiotherapists can assess your joints, identify any issues, and provide targeted treatment to improve joint mobility and reduce discomfort.

Numbness And Tingling: Numbness and tingling sensations can be indicative of nerve compression or irritation. Sports physiotherapists are well-versed in nerve mobilization techniques and can help address these symptoms through targeted interventions.

Neck Pain: Whether it's from a recent injury or long-term posture issues, neck pain can be debilitating for athletes. Sports physiotherapists can provide manual therapy, exercise prescription, and ergonomic advice to help alleviate neck pain and improve function.

Foot Pain: Foot pain can be a common complaint among athletes, especially runners and dancers. Sports physiotherapists can assess your foot mechanics, provide gait analysis, and recommend orthotic interventions to address the root cause of foot pain.

Tremors: Tremors can be a sign of neuromuscular dysfunction and should not be ignored, especially in athletes. Sports physiotherapists can perform a comprehensive assessment to determine the underlying cause of tremors and provide targeted treatment to improve motor control.

Back Pain: Whether it's from a sports injury or poor lifting mechanics, back pain can sideline even the most dedicated athletes. Sports physiotherapists can provide spinal mobilizations, core stabilization exercises, and ergonomic advice to help alleviate back pain.

Joint Pain: Joint pain can be a sign of arthritis, tendonitis, or other conditions that can impact athletic performance. Sports physiotherapists can provide targeted interventions to reduce inflammation, improve joint mobility, and manage pain.

Shoulder Pain: Athletes who engage in overhead sports or repetitive shoulder movements are at risk of developing shoulder pain. Sports physiotherapists can assess shoulder mechanics, provide manual therapy, and prescribe exercises to help alleviate pain and prevent future injuries.
