Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation

What is Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation

Sports therapy and rehabilitation focuses on helping you recover from injuries and improve your overall physical health, whether you’re an athlete or someone who’s simply active in daily life. It involves a combination of techniques, such as manual therapy, exercise, and education, designed to promote healing, restore function, and prevent future injuries.

At Cleve Chiropractic and Physiotherapy Centre, our sports therapists work closely with you to assess the injury, provide treatments to reduce pain and inflammation, and develop a rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs. Whether you’re recovering from a sports injury, dealing with aches from everyday activities, or looking to improve your fitness, sports therapy can help get you back to doing what you love with confidence.

The key aim of rehabilitation is to restore strength, flexibility, and mobility, ensuring you can return to your routine or sport stronger and less likely to get injured again. Our team is here to support you every step of the way with effective, evidence-based treatments.

Common problems Sports Therapists see

From sprains and strains to persistent tendinitis and shin splints, sports therapists are equipped to handle a variety of sports injuries.

They also address joint injuries and muscle imbalances, which can affect your performance.

The main goal is to help you recover quickly and provide strategies to prevent re-injury, ensuring you can enjoy your favourite activities with confidence.

Your First Visit

During your first visit, the sports therapist will get to know you and your injury. They’ll thoroughly evaluate your condition and discuss your overall physical activities and goals.

After the assessment, they’ll design a personalised rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs and ensure you understand the steps to take.

Expect a combination of hands-on treatment and targeted exercises that will have you back on your feet and performing at your best in no time!

Testimonials

Annabelle was brilliant for my daughter. She really helped her with recovery from some sports injuries and helped her with a strength training program. My daughter is only 9 but Annabelle was fantastic at helping her get back to her dance classes and reduce future injuries.

I see Tim, Catherine, Lucy and Luke for all my treatments, and they simply are world class. I’m rather an anxious person and they have put me at ease in every session I have. The treatment they provide helps manage my cerebral palsy and allows me to have the most independent life I can. They really are the dream team. Teamwork makes the dream work.

I had a massage with Callum after being treated by Tim and would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a massage. His passion and enthusiasm shines through from the clear knowledge he has of the human body. He listened to and payed close attention to my specific requests. He made sure I was comfortable (pain/no pain) with what he was doing to me (too soft/hard).

I can highly recommend sports massage with Amy Rogers at Cleve Chiropractic. I have been seeing Amy for about 5 years, and am now a 70-year-old, road runner. Not easy to keep an old body running at a decent standard, but between us, we have done it.

I see Amy once every two weeks, her massage has kept me, largely injury free throughout. Helps both in recovery from races, and preparation for the next one. Not sure if we can keep it going for another 5 years, but we might!

Such a fantastic team! Amazing place to visit not only for treatments but because everyone that works at Cleve-Chiro care and treat patients like family. Thank you Lucy Bee for a much-needed Sports Massage.
