In one paragraph
Sports physiotherapy is injury care and return-to-play for people who run, lift, play racket sports, golf or football, at any level. It treats the injury, finds the training or technique fault that caused it, and builds a graded path back to the sport with dates and tests rather than guesses.
How it goes
- 01Grade the injury
What is hurt and how badly, and what that means for the coming weeks.
- 02Find the why
Load, technique, footwear, recovery: the fault behind an overuse injury is usually in the training diary.
- 03Rebuild load tolerance
Progressive strength and control work until the tissue takes the demands of the sport again.
- 04Return to play
A ladder of steps back to full play, each with a test to pass before the next.
What to expect
Bring your training log or app history and the shoes or gear you use; they tell part of the story.
Questions
Is this only for serious athletes?
No. A weekend badminton player and a marathon runner get the same method, scaled to their sport.
Do I have to stop training?
Rarely completely. Most plans keep you moving in ways that do not load the injury while it heals.
