What this care covers

Sports physiotherapy focuses on preventing and treating injuries that happen during sport or exercise. Whether you play competitively or just run on weekends, a sports physiotherapist looks at how you move, builds you back up with a progressive programme, and helps you return to activity without rushing it. It is commonly used for ACL tears, rotator cuff problems, tennis elbow, hamstring strains and ligament sprains.
