Sports injuries are part and parcel of playing and occur either due to trauma or overuse of tissues such as muscles, ligaments and bones. Traumatic injuries often occur in sports such as rugby and GAA due to a fall, contact or twisting motion e.g ACL (cruciate) rupture. Overuse injuries occur gradually over time, due to overloading or repetitive use of tissues e.g tennis elbow.
If you have a sporting injury it is important to get assessed by a Chartered physiotherapist as soon as possible. This will speed your recovery back to sport and prevent your issues from becoming chronic, where they become harder to treat and take longer to recover.
At Imokilly Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic we will use a thorough assessment to diagnose your injury, and then your physiotherapist will guide you through a personalised rehabilitation programme. This will include exercises to regain muscle strength and joint mobility; other treatment techniques such as manual therapy; and may also include taping or bracing to assist with gradual return to activity.
All the Chartered physiotherapists at Imokilly Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic are skilled and experienced in sports rehabilitation and are comfortable working alongside your trainer, coach or manager to incorporate your rehabilitation programme into your training, working together to get you back to full function.
