When you are injured playing sport you need a physiotherapist who is experienced dealing with sporting injuries. A sports physio understands the significant demands placed on an athlete’s body, the stress this places on specific structures, and the injuries that occur with sport-related contact.
Every day we treat and manage athletes of all skill levels from across the Cairns region so they can achieve their performance goals. A sports physio will
- correctly diagnose and treat athletic injuries
- analyse and correct biomechanics to aid recovery and prevent re-injury
- educate on the cause and management of their injury
- prescribe rehab and strengthening programs
Treatment modalities can include
- manual therapy such as massage and joint mobilisation
- heat or cold therapy
- exercise, flexibility and mobility program
- reloading strategies
- biomechanical analysis and correction
- strapping, taping, and bracing
