About Sports Injuries
In 2022, over 89% of Australians aged 15 and above participated in sports and other forms of physical activity. While outdoor sports had the highest rate of injury, individual sports like outdoor cycling had the highest number of hospitalisations.
At RedoHealth, we take your concerns seriously. Our attentive team offers gentle sports injury treatments and physiotherapy designed to help get you back on track.
Causes of Sports Injuries
Any type of athletic activity may be a risk, but there are a few additional reasons that you may have developed a sporting injury. Common causes of sports injuries include:
- Not performing warm-up exercises
- Direct impacts, falls, or hits
- Overstraining by training too hard or for too long
- Poor technique or using the wrong equipment
Signs You May Need Treatment
If bumps and bruises are fairly common in sports, how do you know if you need extra care? Some signs to look out for that may indicate you need help include:
- Persistent pain that lasts for at least a week
- Intense swelling that does not subside
- Numbness
- Limited functional movement
- Recurring pain
Our Thorough Assessments
Medical History
We assess your history in an effort to fully understand your needs.
Physical Assessment
Our team aims to assess your current condition and fitness levels to potentially provide an accurate diagnosis.
Treatment Plan
Finally, we will tailor a treatment plan designed to suit your needs and sporting performance goals.
Addressing Sporting Injuries
Your treatment will depend on the type of injury you have. For instance, joint injuries may focus on stabilisation, while muscle injuries may require exercise physiology in an effort to help strengthen them and encourage recovery.
At RedoHealth, we utilise manual therapy for targeted rehabilitation, along with soft tissue massage, clinical Pilates-based exercises, and more. We aim to help you stay on the right path to recovery, supporting your overall well-being and potentially helping you to prevent future injury.
Your headache and migraine questions answered
What types of common conditions do you address?
We work with a wide range of common sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, including knee pain, muscle strains, joint issues, and overuse injuries.
These often affect athletes and active individuals, particularly in sports such as soccer. Our focus is on enhancing movement and function in an effort to help you recover and return to better health.
Are your services available to non-athletes or casual exercisers?
Yes. We support individuals at every level, from elite athletes to those simply looking to stay active. Our tailored programs and guidance are designed to promote long-term health and improved function in everyday life.
What if I need surgery?
If your condition requires surgery, we may refer you to trusted orthopaedic surgeons and guide you through every step of the process, from pre-surgical prep to post-operative rehabilitation.
What’s the difference between a physiotherapist and a sports physician?
A physiotherapist addresses injuries through hands-on therapy and rehab exercises. A sports physician is a medical sports doctor who has the ability to order scans and aims to diagnose injuries and manage your overall treatment plan. Both may work together to support your recovery.
