Sports Physiotherapy

A physical therapist works on a male athlete’s leg after a workout in a gym. The athlete is lying on the floor with a towel around his neck and a water bottle nearby. The therapist holds the athlete's leg and uses a towel, with a background featuring gym equipment and a large poster.

Why choose a Sports Physio?

Physiotherapists can help with a wide range of health conditions ranging from musculoskeletal injuries and post-operative recovery to managing the effects of chronic illnesses such as asthma or Parkinson's disease. To safely and effectively cover such a wide range of conditions, you will often find physiotherapists who specialise in certain areas of physiotherapy, with sports physiotherapy being one of these specialised fields.

Sports Physiotherapists go beyond general musculoskeletal care - we're specialists in the prevention and management of sports injuries, performance-related conditions such as back pain, and rehabilitation following surgical procedures like knee or shoulder surgery. What sets sports physiotherapy apart is our deep understanding of athletic movement patterns, sport-specific demands, and the unique pressures that active individuals face. At Olympus Physiotherapy, this expertise is backed by over 15 years of elite sport experience, treating everyone from Olympians and World Champions across rugby, gymnastics, squash, and UFC to recreational athletes.

Prevention-Focused Care That Goes Beyond Recovery

Most people see a physiotherapist once pain or injury occurs. At Olympus Physiotherapy, we believe physiotherapy can be of great value before such issues occur. Using advanced assessment tools like Jump Lab testing and VALD Dynamo strength assessment - technology typically reserved for elite athletes - we can identify potential problem areas and movement dysfunctions before they become injuries. This proactive approach, combined with our sport-specific knowledge and evidence-based techniques including spinal manipulation and targeted rehabilitation programs, means physiotherapy isn't only about helping you recover from injury, but also helping you avoid them in the first place.

Whether you are an Olympic Champion, professional fighter, weekend warrior or just enjoy taking your dog for a walk, Olympus Physiotherapy is here to help you become a healthier, fitter and stronger version of yourself.
