What to expect....

Assessment of Sports Injuries:

Every consultation and treatment plan is personalised and specifically tailored to the individual and their treatment needs. Therefore, consultation and treatment times may vary in length according to the injury and the area to be assessed or treated.

However, on your first visit to a rehabilitation therapist you can expect:

  • A full consultation regarding your previous medical and surgical history in addition to your current health and the injury or symptoms you are experiencing.
  • A full physical examination for which you will be required to remove some of your outer clothing or bring a pair of shorts to change in to:

- Observation of posture

- Gait analysis

- Functional tests

- Range of motion testing

- Special tests

- Neurological assessment

- Assessment of related joints

- Palpation

- Problem list compiled with goals 

Depending on the outcome of the initial assessment it may be necessary to consult with your G.P. or consultant or refer you on to another health care professional. However, this will be discussed with you during consultation and we will not disclose your details to a third party without your consent. Your confidentiality is of great importance and will always be maintained.

Sports Injury Rehabilitation:

Depending on the diagnosis a specifically tailored treatment plan and/or rehabilitation programme will be designed based upon the problem list compiled during assessment. Techniques vary from:

  • Sports massage
  • Mobilisations
  • Core stability exercises
  • Home exercise and specific stretches
  • Tailored one to one rehabilitation sessions
  • Lifestyle advice
  • Postural advice

These techniques will be combined with re-assessment of the initial complaint and regular progress reviews. Your treatment will be adjusted as necessary and you will always be given explanations and the reasoning behind your treatment plan which will also be agreed before commencing.
