Return To Sport With Accurate Timelines –
Located in Beeliar, Booragoon & East Fremantle
When dealing with sporting injuries, we find that athletes want answers to these questions:
- What is my injury?
- When can I return to sport?
- Why did it happen? How do we ensure it doesn’t happen again?
- What is the plan?
Sporting injuries are a niche and complex field of physiotherapy. Accurate testing of ligaments, tendon and muscular injuries require specific training. Protocols exist which can determine the need for referral for scans – such as X-Rays, Ultrasounds and MRIs. The accuracy of this testing, and prompt referral for further investigation depends on the skill of the physiotherapist.
Especially in the case of non-traumatic injuries, it is not just enough to diagnose your injury – but we must have an understanding of WHY this injury has occurred.
In the case of recurrent soft-tissue injuries – calf strains, hamstring strains etc – we must identify deficits and imbalances in strength which may be overloading the continually injured area. For example, for the recurrent strained calf – this may be due to a weakness in the calf itself, or a weakness in associated areas such as the hamstrings, glutes or hip flexors which are causing the calf to become overloaded.
We have accurate diagnostic tools such as Force Plates and dynamometers to accurately measure your strength and rates of force development.
Once and accurate diagnosis has been made – and contributing factors identified – your physiotherapist must have an understanding of the demands of your sport. This is where Move Physiotherapy excels. Our physiotherapists not only understand your sport – but we play them! We have an experienced team of runners, netballers, basketball players, swimmers etc.
With the proper rehabilitation we can prevent sporting injuries from returning.
