Sports Physio
When injury affects your activity
Sport and exercise place different demands on your body, and injuries can affect how you train, compete and participate in the activities you enjoy.
At reHealth, our physiotherapists take the time to understand your symptoms, injury history, sport, training and everyday activities.
We use clinical assessment, exercise rehabilitation, education and hands-on techniques where appropriate to help you understand your presentation and explore suitable management options.
Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury, recurring symptoms or concerns related to training, your physiotherapist will develop an approach based on your individual circumstances and goals.
