Praxis Physiotherapy

Recognised speciality within the field of physiotherapy, requiring additional training and expertise. At Praxis Physiotherapy, our team of sports physiotherapists have a deep understanding of the biomechanics and physiology of sporting activities, allowing them to deliver specialised care to athletes of all levels.

1. Injury prevention: We work closely with athletes to identify risk factors and develop personalised injury prevention strategies. This may involve strength and conditioning programmes, flexibility training, and biomechanical analysis to optimise performance and minimise the risk of injury.

2. Evaluation and assessment: Our sports physiotherapists have extensive knowledge of sports-related injuries and use advanced assessment techniques to accurately diagnose and determine the severity of an injury. This includes conducting thorough physical examinations, reviewing medical histories, and utilising imaging and diagnostic tools when necessary.

3. Treatment and rehabilitation: We provide individualised treatment plans tailored to each athlete's specific needs. This may include manual therapy techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue manipulation, and dry needling, as well as targeted exercise prescription to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Our team also incorporates innovative technologies and modalities to aid in the healing process.

4. Return to sport planning: We understand the importance of a safe and successful return to sport. Our sports physiotherapists develop comprehensive return to play programmes that address not only the physical recovery but also the psychological and functional aspects of an athlete's return to their chosen sport. This involves gradually reintroducing sport-specific activities and monitoring progress to ensure a smooth transition.

5. Performance enhancement: Our sports physiotherapy services go beyond injury management. We also work with athletes to optimise their performance through targeted training programmes, biomechanical analysis, and ergonomic assessments. By addressing imbalances, weaknesses, and areas for improvement, we help athletes reach their full potential on the field or court.

At Praxis Physiotherapy, we are committed to providing our clients with the highest standard of care. Our sports physiotherapists are constantly updating their knowledge and skills through continued education and research to deliver evidence-based practises. Whether you are a recreational enthusiast or a professional athlete, we are here to support you in achieving your sporting goals and maintaining optimal physical health.
