What is sports physiotherapy?

Sports physiotherapy is a specialised type of physio that focuses on active people—athletes, gym-goers, weekend warriors, and anyone who pushes their body and expects it to perform. It’s all about preventing injuries, treating them properly when they happen, and helping you return to sport safely.

The treatment is hands-on, evidence-based, and designed to move with you as you recover and rebuild.

Who it’s for

We work with all kinds of bodies and goals:

Athletes at any level – from local club players to serious competitors
Active adults – keeping fit, surfing, running, or doing bootcamp down at Dee Why
Teenagers in sport – growing bodies need smart recovery
Anyone pushing their limits – even if you're just trying to get back into training again

If you move, we’ve got your back (and knees, and shoulders too).

Common injuries we treat

No need to guess—we see it all the time. Some:

Ankle sprains
Knee ligament tears including ACL ruptures (pre and post-op rehab)
Muscle tears – hamstring, calf, quadriceps etc
Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff injuries
Shin splints and Achilles pain
Hip and groin pain
Back and neck tightness from sport or training
Overuse injuries from too much load
Tendinopathies such as Achillies tendinosis, tennis elbow etc
Growth related injuries in sport – Severs, Osgood- Schlatters

We’ll break down exactly what’s going on and build a plan around your goals.

Our approach

We keep it real—no cookie-cutter programs, no endless appointments that don’t get results.

Detailed assessment – We start by understanding your injury and how you move.
Hands-on treatment – Manual therapy where needed to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Rehab and retraining – Strength, mobility, and control to get you back to sport safely.
Return-to-sport planning – Clear steps and progression so you don’t guess when you’re ready.

Everything we do is built to help you recover fully—not just quickly.

What to expect

In your first session, we’ll take the time to get the full picture. You’ll walk out knowing what’s going on, what we’re doing about it, and what comes next.

Expect clear answers, some hands-on treatment, and a rehab plan that actually makes sense for your sport or activity. And if you're nervous? Totally normal. We’ll make sure you feel supported every step of the way.

If you need a scan we can write you for a referral for one.

If the injury needs to assessed further with a specialist we have a good working relationship with a number of sports physicians and orthopaedic surgeons.
