Sports Injury

In many cases, sports injuries are due to long term overuse of a part of the body when participating in a certain activity e.g. Achilles tendonitis in runners and shoulder impingement in swimmers. More often, sudden or acute injuries occur e.g. sprained ankle ligaments in footballers and torn hamstring muscles in rugby players.

Physiotherapy on sports injuries speeds up recovery, identifies any underlying causes, and helps to get you back to your activity safely whilst preventing recurrence. Accurate diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation are provided at Benchmark Physiotherapy Clinic, to ensure you get back to your sport as soon as possible.

Treaments offered at the clinic include:

Ultrasound therapy (reduces swelling and inflammation)
Massage Therapy (to break down scar tissue)
Exercise Prescription (to strengthen and stretch appropriate muscles)
Taping and Strapping (to provide support to vulnerable ligaments)
