Sports Physiotherapy Rehabilitation and recovery for active individuals, focused on safe return to movement.
What Is Sports Physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy focuses on the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to physical activity and exercise. It is suitable for anyone who trains, plays sport, goes to the gym, runs, or maintains an active lifestyle — not just professional athletes.
People commonly search for sports physiotherapy when dealing with sports injuries, muscle strains, ligament injuries, tendon pain, runner’s knee, tennis elbow, Achilles pain, gym-related injuries, or recurring training discomfort.
At GK Physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy begins with understanding how the injury happened and what demands your activity places on your body. Treatment is built around restoring movement, strength, and confidence while reducing the risk of re-injury.
Common Sports & Activity-Related Conditions Treated
Sports physiotherapy is commonly used to manage:
-
Muscle strains and tears
-
Ligament injuries (ACL, ankle sprains, etc.)
-
Tendon pain (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff)
-
Runner’s knee and overuse injuries
-
Shoulder injuries from training or sport
-
Lower back pain related to exercise
-
Post-injury weakness or movement compensation
Many patients arrive after pain keeps returning whenever they train. Sports physiotherapy helps address the underlying movement or load issue — not just the symptom.
How Treatment Is Delivered
Sports physiotherapy sessions may include:
-
Detailed injury and movement assessment
-
Analysis of training load and technique
-
Hands-on treatment where appropriate
-
Progressive strengthening and mobility exercises
-
Sport- or activity-specific rehabilitation
-
Gradual return-to-activity planning
Treatment progression is guided by how the body responds, not by fixed timelines. The aim is to return you to activity safely, confidently, and sustainably.
