OUR SERVICES

Sports Medicine is a specialised field of healthcare dedicated to preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries related to physical activity and sports. It focuses on assessing musculoskeletal injuries across all populations, from professional athletes to active individuals of all ages and fitness levels. Sports medicine professionals combine medical expertise with exercise science to help patients recover from injuries, optimize performance, and prevent future issues.

Focusing on restoring movement, function, and quality of life in individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability, our physiotherapy team are perfectly placed to ensure you get the best treatment outcomes. Using techniques such as exercise, manual therapy, and education, physiotherapists help reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote overall health. Whether recovering from surgery, managing chronic conditions, or rehabilitating after an injury, we offer personalized care tailored to the unique needs of each patient, enabling you to return to your daily activities and improve their physical well-being.

Our ostepaths use hands-on techniques, including gentle manipulation, stretching, and massage, to improve mobility, relieve tension, and enhance the body’s natural healing processes. This practice emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body’s structure and function, promoting overall wellness. Osteopathy can help treat issues like back pain, joint problems, headaches and TMJ issues, offering a non-invasive, patient-centered approach to healthcare.

We work with many different populations to address conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendon injuries, stress fractures, and other sports-related issues. By analyzing movement, biomechanics, and footwear, they develop customized treatment plans that improve performance, enhance recovery, and prevent future injuries, ensuring athletes can maintain optimal foot and lower limb health while staying active.

RUNNING ASSESSMENT

Running is one of the easiest and most common ways to stay fit. Unfortunately, running injuries are common and can affect the hips, knees, ankles, and feet.   A running gait assessment can help to reduce the risk of injury by exploring any biomechanical insufficiency that may predispose you to injury.  Through digitally capturing your running gait frame by frame, we can identify areas that could lead to injury and effect your sporting ability.  Equally as important, we look at your training loads in order to ensure your body’s capabilities match the demanded load.

PITCH READY

Pitch Ready is an innovative system that tests an athlete’s physical performance capability, with a focus on returning to sport following injury. The use of advanced technology and extensive industry research enables accurate insights into individual injury reduction strategies and rehabilitation analysis, allowing athletes to confidently return back to sport.

Key injuries Pitch Ready is most suitable for are:
• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries.
• Knee injuries
• Groin and hip injuries
• Ankle injuries
• Lower limb tendon pathology.

Pitch Ready can be utilised for both the elite and non-elite athlete, including youth and open age players from a multitude of competitive sports. As Pitch Ready is focused on injury reduction and functional ability in sport, this testing can be aimed at athletes pre-injury to prevent the risk of injury and also post-injury to maximise recovery potential with a successful return back to sport.

Pitch Ready involves capturing real-time data from clinical, performance and biomechanical testing which generates a report highlighting key, actionable insights to help guide decision-making and rehabilitation management. This rigorous system provides:
• Research-derived and validated injury reduction strategies
• Cutting edge biomechanical risk analysis
• The ability to maximize rehabilitation efficiency
• Feedback on appropriate safe return to sport

FAQ

Q. I have been doing my rehab elsewhere – can I still do a ‘pitch ready’ test?
A. Yes! We will ensure to get a full handover from your treating physio with regards to your injury. Once the test is completed, you and your physiotherapist will receive an in-depth report of the results along with rehab specific focus areas.

Q. At what stage can I complete a test?
A. This will depend on your specific injury and the stage of rehabilitation you are at. You can discuss this with a member of our team or with your physiotherapist/orthopaedic specialist if you have been receiving rehabilitation elsewhere.
