Sports therapy has progressed from just treating injured athletes, and deals with many musculoskeletal complaints such as back pain, mobility and postural problems along with work related and repetitive strain injuries.

Injuries are treated according to the sport or activity involved, therefore a Sports Therapist has a vital role in both sporting and non-sporting environments not only returning athletes to their full performance but helping patients with non-sporting injuries or pain to function fully after injury and to help prevent further injuries and suffering from pain through training and education.

Sports Therapists provide more than just the treatment and healing of injuries as they rehabilitate the injured patient through stretching and strengthening exercises that suit each individual’s lifestyle and they carry on working alongside the patient to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent reoccurrence of injuries.

Treatments include;
• Sports and Remedial Massage,
• Neuromuscular Technique
• Muscular Energy Techniques
• Postural Assessments
• Rehabilitation
• Bandaging and Strapping
