Common sports injuries
Sprains, strains, tendon irritation, overuse pain, shoulder injuries, knee pain and back pain are common reasons active people seek care. Early assessment can help identify what is irritated and what needs to be rebuilt.
Recovery is progressive
Good sports injury rehabilitation balances rest, loading, mobility, strength and return-to-sport goals. Physiotherapy can guide exercise progression, while acupuncture may support pain and soft-tissue discomfort.
Returning with confidence
The aim is not only to feel better but to return with confidence. Your plan should match your sport, lifestyle and current capacity.
