Frequently asked questions
What should I wear to a sports physio appointment?
Wear comfortable, flexible clothing that allows your sports injury therapist to assess movement easily. Activewear, shorts, or anything you train in is ideal.
What treatments are included in sports chiropractic and physiotherapy?
Our team includes the following treatments:
How soon should I see a sports injury therapist after getting injured?
It’s best to book an appointment as early as possible. Early assessment helps reduce swelling, prevent compensation patterns, and speed up your return to activity.
Can sports physiotherapy help improve my performance, not just treat injuries?
Yes. Sports physio isn’t only for injuries, your therapist can help with strength imbalances, mobility restrictions, movement efficiency, and overall performance optimisation.
Do you offer return-to-sport programs?
Yes, we create tailored return-to-sport plans that guide you from early rehab through to full training load, reducing reinjury risk and building confidence.
Will I receive exercises to do at home?
Most treatment plans include targeted home exercises. These routines help you maintain progress between sessions and accelerate recovery.
Can sports physio help with long-term or recurring issues?
Definitely. Our sports injury therapists can identify underlying movement patterns or weaknesses that cause recurring pain, then create a structured plan to manage and prevent future flare-ups.
What sets Gladesville Healthcare apart in sports injury treatment?
