Sports Physiotherapy – Midleton Physiotherapy Clinic

Our Sports Injuries department at Midleton Physiotherapy is extremely experienced in assessing and treating a vast range of sports injuries. Sports injuries or exercise-related injuries can easily occur whilst taking part in various forms of exercise, sports or dancing.

Our Sports Physiotherapy 3-Step Recovery Process:

STEP 1

The first step in treating your sports injury is to carry out a comprehensive assessment of your injury.

The aim of treatment is at first to:
√ get you feeling better
√ improve your pain by means of soft tissue work and manual therapy
√ implement taping techniques if required

STEP 2
The aim of the next step in your recovery from your sports injury is to restore movement with biomechanical assessment and physiotherapy-guided rehabilitation.

Then you will be provided with exercises that can be carried out at home, such as stretches and gradual strengthening.

STEP 3
The next stage in your recovery is getting you to move better and become stronger to allow you to return to your sport or activity with the capacity to deal with the demands of the particular sport.

This involves giving you an individual strength & conditioning programme to get you exercising again and help prevent re-injury.

Examples of sports injuries we assess and treat in our Sports Physio department here at Midleton Physiotherapy:

Post-operative Rehabilitation (knee arthroscopy, ACL repairs, Achilles rupture repair, rotator cuff repair)
Muscle strains (hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, abdominals)
Joint sprains ( ankle sprain, knee ligament sprains)
Running Associated Injuries (ITB syndrome, “shin splints”)
“Growing Pains” (Osgood Schlatter’s, Sever’s Disease)

I first attended Midleton Physio Clinic many years ago after being involved in a road accident. No matter what problem I present with, Ber and her team have always treated me with great professionalism. I have been happy to refer many of my friends and family to the clinic over the years as we are assured of successful diagnosis and treatment for any problem. I recommend Midleton Physio highly.

An excellent professional practice with a friendly caring team of therapists. My family and I have attended the clinic over many years for different reasons ranging from sports injuries to rehabilitation after an accident. Treatments always resulted in relief from pain. We were always included in the process of understanding our injury, how to manage it and prevent it reoccurring in the future I would highly recommend the Midleton physiotherapy clinic

Long hours of work and study at the computer took its toll on my neck, it had totally seized up. Ber and Paddy's professional massage and stretching gradually brought back movement. I got a good exercise plan, adjusted after each treatment. If the strain returns I won't delay booking a treatment. Thank you Paddy, Victoria, Ber and all the staff at your lovely clinic.
