Sports Injuries
Sports injuries can happen to anyone, from weekend players to elite athletes. At City South Physio, we’ll help you recover from sprains, strains, and overuse injuries with tailored treatment and progressive rehab. Our goal is to restore strength, prevent re-injury, and get you back to sport with full confidence.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Whether it’s a rolled ankle on the weekend, a hamstring strain on the footy field, or shoulder pain from the gym, sports injuries can affect anyone who enjoys being active. At City South Physio, we specialise in helping people recover from these setbacks and return to their sport with absolute confidence that they are back to 100%.
Our physiotherapists are experienced in assessing and treating a wide range of sporting injuries, from acute sprains and muscle tears to overuse conditions and post-surgical rehabilitation. We don’t just focus on the sore spot – we look at how your body moves, identify contributing factors, and design a personalised plan for your recovery.
Our team have experience working with AFL, VFL and local level football players, plus vast experience working in Rugby, Water Polo, athletics, basketball and soccer clubs and players. We know what it’s like to the best athletes in the world, and we’ll treat you in the same way.
Treatment will likely include hands-on treatment, strength and conditioning, Clinical Pilates, massage, and practical advice around training loads and further injury prevention. Our aim is not only to get you back playing as quickly and safely as possible, but also to reduce the risk of re-injury so you can stay active for the long term.
