Treating sports injuries with physiotherapy

Any injury to the body can be a nuisance, but even more so if you are involved in sport. It is important to obtain immediate advice and effective treatment following injury as a delay could lengthen your recovery time. At Pinehill Hospital we aim to offer access to Chartered Physiotherapists within 24 hours, who will assess your injury, begin appropriate treatment and guide your rehabilitation, to enable you to return to your sport as soon as possible. Many of the physiotherapists are involved in sport personally (football, golf, running etc) and therefore have a good understanding of issues involved with sporting injuries.

We have a Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist who is able to undertake a comprehensive analysis of body movement and function for those whose problem reoccurs or does not resolve easily. She will provide a structured progressive treatment programme, tailormade to your pathology, including correcting any dysfunctional movement patterns.
