Physiotherapy
treatment helps to maximise and speed recovery from sports injuries
such as joint sprains and muscle strains.
It is usually best to start
the treatment as soon after the injury is possible. If further
investigations are required, your
physiotherapist can refer you for the
tests or will refer you back to your GP.
Physiotherapy treatment can consist of:
- Ice / heat.
- Compression therapy.
- Taping/ bracing.
- Electrotherapies - ultrasound / interferential / laser therapy.
- Mobilisation of joint tissue.
- Soft tissue massage.
- Provision of specific rehabilitation exercise program.
