What is Sports Physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy is a specialized area of physiotherapy dedicated to the management of injuries and conditions associated with athletic activity and physical performance. It encompasses the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries, as well as performance enhancement strategies for athletes of all levels.

Sports physiotherapists possess advanced knowledge of biomechanics, exercise physiology, and the unique physical demands of various sports. Their role extends beyond injury treatment to include:
-
Comprehensive injury assessment and diagnosis
-
Individualized rehabilitation and return-to-sport planning

Strengthening and conditioning programs tailored to the athlete
-
Injury prevention strategies based on movement analysis
-
Performance optimization through functional training and recovery protocols
Commonly Treated Conditions Include:
-
Muscle strains and ligament sprains
-
Tendinopathies (e.g., Achilles, rotator cuff, patellar)
-
Joint instability and dysfunction
-
Overuse injuries (e.g., runner’s knee, stress fractures)
-
Post-operative rehabilitation following orthopedic surgery
-
Concussion and sports-related head injuries
Who Can Benefit?
