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.
