Sports Physiotherapy Athelstone
At Core Physiotherapy and Pilates Studio, we take a comprehensive approach to sports physiotherapy, bringing together injury management, structured conditioning, prevention planning, and strategies to support athletic performance.
Understanding Sports Physiotherapy
Sports Physiotherapy focuses on evaluating, restoring, and preventing injuries related to sports and recreational activities. Our approach prioritises understanding the specific requirements of each sport and tailoring care to match an athlete’s individual performance objectives. We work closely with athletes to develop plans that promote a safe return to sport while reducing the risk of future injuries.
Essential Focus Areas
Our sports physiotherapy services focus on four integral components that form the foundation of effective management:
Targeted Injury Treatment and Recovery
Early care is essential in managing acute injuries. Our approach blends hands-on treatments including soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation, and techniques such as acupuncture or dry needling with structured rehabilitation exercises. This combination is designed to support tissue repair and functional recovery specific to the injured area.
Conditioning Designed for Your Sport
Beyond injury recovery, sport-specific conditioning is vital for restoring strength, endurance, and mobility across the body. Our physiotherapists collaborate with athletes and their coaching teams to develop progressive conditioning programs, focusing on rebuilding overall physical capacity, not just the injured site, ensuring readiness for competitive demands.
Injury Prevention and Ongoing Assessment
Repeated injuries can disrupt athletic progress. Our preventive strategies focus on functional training suited to each sport, load balancing, and performance tracking to maintain peak condition while addressing flexibility and fatigue concerns. Taping, bracing, and refining training techniques further support injury prevention.
Strategies for Improved Performance
Rehabilitation is not just about recovery—it’s an opportunity to refine movement efficiency. We conduct detailed screening assessments to pinpoint areas that need targeted training, supporting athletes in returning with better function, alignment, and long-term performance benefits.
