Sports Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is not only for athletes or people who play sports. Physiotherapists are experts in human movement, and they specialise in diagnosing, treating and rehabilitating musculoskeletal injuries and nerve pain. They cover all muscles, ligaments, tendons and skeletal-associated problems including posture, osteoarthritic issues, nerve issues, pelvic floor and continence control, and the monitoring and prevention of heart and lung conditions and so much more.
The Sports Physiotherapists at our sports injury clinic practice with all common injuries including:

Shoulder injuries and pain often occur from contact sports or from overuse. Ligament sprains, muscle strains and tendon inflammation are quite common. The symptoms for shoulder injuries may include pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of normal shoulder movement. Shoulder injuries regularly occur in cricket, swimming and golf. Your sports physiotherapist can give you shoulder exercises and back exercises to relieve pain and strengthen your shoulders.
Common shoulder injuries are as follows:
- Rotator Cuff Strain
- Rotator Cuff Impingement
- Dislocation
- ACJ Disorders
- Adhesive Capsulitis
Knee injuries often present as medial collateral ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture across all codes of football, cricket, field hockey and martial arts. For snow skiing, MCL injuries are more common in beginner/intermediate skiers and ACL injuries more common in advanced skiers – and for both injuries’ physiotherapy will play an important role in returning to play.
Jumper’s knee is inflammation of the patella tendon that attaches the muscles at the front of the leg to the shinbone. Constant jumping and landing as in netball or basketball leads to patella tendon pain and tenderness in the knee which continues at rest and during play. Treatment consists of the RICE protocol and physiotherapy.
Elbow pain is an overuse injury often experienced by golfers and tennis players as a result of small tears occurring in the tendons of the forearm. Elbow pain occurs on the inside of the elbow as opposed to tennis elbow where pain occurs on the outside. Pain increases when flexing the wrist and when grasping objects.
Ankle pain occurs when ligaments are stretched or torn. Rehabilitating the strength and flexibility of the area can be restored through physiotherapy. Ankle sprains regularly occur in most sports including basketball, netball, football, athletics, field hockey, cricket, netball, squash and tennis, and commonly occur when there is a pre-existing muscle weakness in the ankle or a history of previous ankle injuries. Our team of sports physios is able to identify if there is an underlying problem and develop a program to prevent further sprains from occurring.
Groin strains are painful tears or rupture to any of the muscles on the inner side of the thigh. This type of injury results in groin pain ranging from mild to severe. Tightness may be felt in the groin area, as well as pain when squeezing the legs together.
And we offer more than injury management. We also specialise in sports physiotherapy prevention strategies, providing professional advice for sports-specific warm ups and warm downs, advice on suitable sport and exercise attire, strapping techniques and more.
