Sports injury clinic

 

 

Sports injuries vary from sport to sport. They can be anything from contact injuries as a result of a tackle in football or road running traumas that affect the bone, to soft tissue injuries that can occur through playing tennis or through skiing. Injuries can occur during a sporting activity but may also be due to an everyday musculo-skeletal condition that requires treating. Our sports injury clinic offers high standards of care, which is reflected in the treatment provided by our specialist physiotherapists and orthopaedic consultants. We offer a highly specialised service to individuals at all levels from recreational to professional and treat athletes of all abilities from the age of 12. The clinic provides:

* Appointment times to suit your needs
* Rapid assessment, diagnosis and treatment
* Treatment without the hassle of a GP referral
* Treatment for all, insured or not
* Consultation with a specialist trauma orthopaedic surgeon where appropriate
* Analysis of recurring injuries
* Orthotic service for specialist foot orthoses and knee braces
* Practical advice on the continuation of training
* A comprehensive recovery programme
* Gym-orientated rehabilitation, guidance and planning
* Isokinetics – functional movement analysis (ACL reconstruction)

We also offer the following investigations: X-ray, MRI scanning and diagnostic ultrasound

Our aim is to return you to normal fitness as quickly as possible by providing a recovery programme that is tailored to your individual needs. At your first appointment a detailed history will be taken, followed by a thorough assessment. You will receive expert advice and treatment and we will provide you with a personal recovery programme tailored to your needs. Our physiotherapists can also refer you to a consultant and can arrange access to our diagnostic facilities. Your physiotherapist can liase with your GP and provide them with a detailed discharge summary at the end of your treatment. All treatments are led by Physiotherapy Manager Stuart Unthank SRP, MCSP, SMACP, MSc and a team of chartered physiotherapists. Stuart has unique experience of working in 8 countries including USA and Europe. He was previously an army fitness instructor and a professional sports person and has also worked within Bayern Munich Football Club.
