Physiotherapy FAQ: Sports Injuries

The nature of the sports injury varies greatly depending on the nature of the sport and the build of the sportsperson. Some can be from a specific injury or incident, others through overuse, whilst others may result from poor training methods. The resulting damage may be very slight and allow the person to be back to full sporting activities fairly quickly. For this type of injury the information on our self help page may be sufficient to regain full recovery. Others unfortunately may be more serious, in order to minimise further damage and allow a quicker return to the sport, professional help should be sought through a chartered physiotherapist.
