Personalised treatment
At our Sports Injuries Centre we provide a highly specialised service to individuals at all levels of recreational and professional sports. We regularly treat athletes of all abilities, from the age of 12, and are experienced in treating injuries from a variety of disciplines, such as athletics, cycling, football, rugby and racquet sports.
- At your first appointment a detailed history will be taken, followed by a thorough assessment of your condition. This enables your physiotherapist to establish your baseline function, from which they can measure your improvement.
- You will receive expert advice and treatment with a personal programme tailored to your needs.
- Your physiotherapist can also refer you to a consultant and arrange access, when necessary, to our diagnostic facilities including X-ray, ultrasound, MRI and CT scanning.
- Your physiotherapist can liaise with your GP or consultant and provide a detailed discharge summary at the end of your treatment.
Our aim is to return you to normal fitness as quickly as possible by providing a recovery programme tailored to your individual needs. We commit to explaining medical matters in straightforward, understandable language and without using technical terms or jargon.
