Sports Physiotherapy at Lifeline Physiotherapy
Sport-related injuries are some of the most common conditions we treat here at Lifeline Physiotherapy. Our physiotherapy team is highly skilled and experienced in handling a wide range of sports-related injuries. Engaging in sports comes with inherent risks, which we accept each time we step onto the field, pitch, court, or ring.
According to ACC, the most common sporting injuries occur to the head, shoulders, hamstrings, knees, and ankles. However, a variety of other injuries can occur as well. Our physiotherapists are equipped to help you manage any of these conditions, providing tailored treatment plans to meet your specific needs.
Addressing your injury early is crucial for effective acute management and accurate diagnosis. Your physiotherapist will guide you through the healing process, from initial injury care to progressive strength and rehabilitation work. Our team will ensure you return to your previous levels of function.
