Sports Specific Injury Rehabilitation
Do you have an injury that always seems to keep coming back when you get back into sport?
Have you had surgery on your knee/ shoulder/ ankle but want to return to your pre-injury level of sport?
The idea of sport specific rehabilitation is that final step between being pain free and being fit to return to sport. There is a large leap from ending treatment in the clinic to making your first tackle in football or pivoting on a knee when suddenly changing direction in a game of rugby.
You need to know that the knee is not going to ‘break down’ under pressure and that you are able to return to your sport with full confidence that you are fit and ready.
At Physio Plus we carry out specific assessment to determine what your body is required to do for your given sport and plan a rehabilitation programme to address the problem areas. Patients are taken outdoors to carry out drills which mimic the movement patterns and recreate the stresses applied in their individual sport. We work on speed, agility, quickness drills, core stability, flexibility and specific skill demands for the given sport. These are controlled and progressed to increase the stress on the patients injured area.
This ensures all aspects of rehabilitation are met with the objective to ensure a reduced likelihood of the injury happening again. It also improves psychological readiness to return to sport so that you can be confident in giving 100%.
