How sports physio works
From injury to return to sport
Step 1
Assessment and diagnosis
We identify what’s injured and why, assess your strength and movement (including comparison with your uninjured side), and consider the specific demands of your sport or activity.
Step 2
Treatment and early rehabilitation
We’ll use hands-on treatment where it helps and adjust your training to support recovery, keep you moving and maintain as much fitness as possible along the way.
Step 3
Strength and return to sport
Build back your strength, fitness and confidence through sport-specific rehabilitation. We use a range of objective tests to assess your readiness and guide your safe return to full training and competition.

FAQs
Sports physio FAQs
Do I need to be an athlete?
Not at all. Sports physiotherapy is for anyone whose injury is affecting their ability to exercise, play sport or stay active, from weekend sport and parkrun to competitive athletes.
Can I keep training while injured?
Often, yes. Your physiotherapist will guide you on how to modify your training while your injury recovers, helping you maintain as much strength and fitness as possible.
Do you treat ACL injuries?
Yes. We provide rehabilitation before and after ACL reconstruction, with a progressive program and strength and functional testing to guide each stage of recovery through to return to sport.
When can I return to sport?
It depends on your injury, recovery and progress. There is no one-size-fits-all timeframe. We use strength and functional testing to guide your rehabilitation, progressing through running and sport-specific activities before returning to full training and competition.
Do you see workers compensation and NDIS clients?
Yes. We accept workers compensation clients, and see NDIS participants with self-managed or plan-managed funding.
