When you are injured playing sport you need a physiotherapist who is experienced dealing with sporting injuries. A sports physio understands the significant demands placed on an athlete’s body, the stress this places on specific structures, and the injuries that occur with sport-related contact.

This pain will likely be affecting sleep, work, day to day tasks, exercise, sport and can often take a toll on your overall happiness and quality of life.
