Focus on your Rehabilitation
The first visit for a sport injury doesn't differ from a standard physiotherapy consult and evaluation (see physiotherapy page). Physiotherapists assess by looking at a range of movements, strength and mobility. A sport injury will require us to look at more specific movements.
If video analysis of your running, walking or cycling technique is needed a treadmill and exercise bike are available in the gym area. In addition, analysis of movements that require more room such as golf swings can take place in our large gym area.
For your appointment
The more information that you can provide the better the chance for your physiotherapist to diagnose your injury correctly.
If you have any scans or referrals please bring them to your consult. In addition, you should also bring in any footwear or equipment you use during your sport.
During your consult your physio will discuss with you your diagnosis, prognosis and treatment plan. Generally treatment will involve the use of physiotherapy techniques within the treatment room combined with a more targeted exercise based program.
You may need to join a rehab group during the early part of your treatment to begin strengthening of the problem.
