We don’t just treat the injury – we help you rebuild strength, restore confidence, and focus on lasting, meaningful results so you can return to peak performance.
Understanding sports injuries
Dealing with an injury can leave you wondering whether you should keep going or take a step back. It’s frustrating when you’re not performing at your best, and even more so when you’re unsure if continuing could make things worse.
“Having played rugby for years I’ve been sidelined by injuries more than once. I know how frustrating it is to be kept from the sport you love, missing out on team selection and feeling isolated from your friends and colleagues. That’s exactly why I’m passionate about Physiotherapy and sports injury rehab. I’m here to help you recover properly, move confidently, and get back to doing what you enjoy.”

Common sports injuries include:
Shoulder Injuries
The shoulder is prone to injuries due to its high mobility. Common injuries include dislocations, muscle or tendon injuries, and labral tears. Physiotherapy helps to restore movement, strength, control, and prevent long-term issues.
Knee Injuries
Knee injuries, such as ACL tears, meniscus tears, and patellar tendinitis are common in sports. These injuries can cause pain and instability. Early diagnosis by a Physiotherapist is essential for effective treatment and rehabilitation.
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains are one of the most common sports injuries, typically caused by twisting or rolling the ankle inwards. They can result in ligament damage, swelling, and pain with weightbearing and movement. Early management is critical for a full recovery, smooth return to sport and to avoid recurrent injury which can lead to chronic ankle instability.
Achilles Tendon Injuries
The Achilles tendon can become inflamed or damaged due to sudden increases in activity or poor biomechanics. It can also be injured in activities like accelerating or sprinting. Achilles tendon pain can be debilitating and requires careful Physiotherapy treatment for recovery.
Lower leg Shin splints are common in runners, hockey players, dancers and football players. They can occur from sudden increases in activity or changes in movement patterns, poor ankle mobility or changes in energy/nutrition, and cause pain along the shinbone. A Physiotherapist can help address the underlying causes and prevent further injury.
