Sports Injury Physio Melbourne

There are mainly two types of sports injuries: traumatic and overuse, which can be acute and chronic. An injury that occurs suddenly, such as a sprained ankle caused by an awkward landing, is known as an acute injury. Chronic injuries are caused by repeated overuse of muscle groups or joints and include cramps, tears and strains. With increased exposure to sport in the adolescence period, there is higher risk of overusing the muscles, tendons and bones.

Our Sports physiotherapists in Glen Iris, Malven and East Hawthorn are well-trained in designing and implementing an exercise program that addresses musculoskeletal strength, balance, agility and flexibility factors which predispose people to injury.

We are specialised in identifying imbalances and deficiency in biomechanics, strength, proprioception and technical sports skills. We prescribe exercises to address these issues in order to optimise performance and prevent further injury.

 "Injury prevention is obviously always our first priority and the best remedy in terms of reducing recurrence of the injuries and medical costs." (Source: Australian Physiotherapy Association).
