Sports Therapy
How can we help?
Sports Therapy is a specialist area focused on addressing issues and injuries related to athletes and individuals involved in sports and physical activities. These injuries often differ from everyday injuries due to the higher demands and intense physical stress that sports and exercise place on the body.
A sports injury typically involves damage caused by repetitive strain, overuse, or acute trauma resulting from high-impact or high-intensity activities. Unlike common injuries, sports injuries require a unique approach to treatment and rehabilitation, tailored to the specific needs and goals of the athlete.
How Can We Help?
At The LBPC, we play a pivotal role in the prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of these injuries. We assess your unique risks and develop strategies to minimise injury occurrence. Should an injury occur, we provide targeted treatments to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and facilitate healing. Additionally, we design personalised rehabilitation programs to restore your function, enhance strength, and support a safe return to your sport or activity.
By focusing on prevention and recovery, we ensure that you can maintain peak performance, achieve your athletic goals, and enjoy sustained physical well-being.

What will happen at your Appointment?
Your initial assessment is crucial in helping our sports therapist understand your injury and determine the most effective treatment plan. We'll begin by discussing your medical history, previous injuries, and lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. This conversation helps us gain a comprehensive view of your condition. This will be followed by a thorough physical examination, assessing your posture, range of movement, and muscle function to accurately gauge the type and severity of your injury.
Following this, a physical examination will be conducted, focusing on your posture, range of movement, and muscle function. This allows us to accurately assess the type and severity of your injury, as well as any contributing biomechanical issues.
Based on this comprehensive assessment, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Depending on your condition, your plan may include hands-on therapies like massage therapy and joint mobilisation, supportive techniques such as taping and ultrasound therapy, and movement-focused strategies like tailored exercise programmes and 1-to-1 Pilates. We also provide injury prevention services, education, and advice to help you manage your recovery and prevent future issues.
By combining these approaches, we aim to not only treat your current injury but also equip you with the knowledge and tools to prevent future issues, ensuring you can return to your sport stronger and more resilient.
