An injury during sport can prevent you from returning to play or affect your ability to play for a prolonged period. Physiotherapy plays an important part in assessment, treatment and prevention of sports injuries.  Focus Health has therapists who are very experienced in treating sports injuries and rehabilitating them back to full function as soon as possible.

​

If you sustain an inury it is important to be seen by a Physiotherapist as soon as you can so the injury can be treated and managed to give the quickest and best result.

​

Focus Health Physios work in closely with GPs, Sports Physicians and Orthopaedic Specialists if the injury needs investigation or onward referral.  They are adept in strapping/taping techniques for returning to training and playing.

​

Each clinic has an exercise area and equipment to ensure the injury is fully rehabilitated. Movement analysis and muscle balance assessment can also assist recovery and help prevent injury.

​
