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 Rivers 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,
rugby, dancing, running etc) and therefore have a good
understanding of issues involved with sporting injuries.
We have a Senior Physiotherapist who is able to undertake a
comprehensive analysis of body movement and function for those
whose problem recurs or does not resolve easily. They can provide a
structured progressive treatment programme, tailor made to your
condition, including correcting any incorrect movement
patterns.
