Physiotherapy for Sports Injuries
For many years Milltown Physiotherapy Clinic has been working with both individuals and teams from a wide variety of sports. When injury occurs the following are all important:
- Rest, ice, compression, elevation and anti-inflammatory medication within the first 48 hours of injury.
- Early treatment to accelerate healing and limit further injury.
- Biomechanical assessment to ensure that other potential causes of the problem are identified. Video Gait Analysis can help to identify any biomechanical inefficiencies in your running style, that may cause injury problems.
Physiotherapy in sport helps towards:
- Optimum regeneration of new tissue using massage, mobilisation and electrotherapy modalities.
- Restoration of full mobility, strength and function specific to the sport.
- Return to sporting fitness through customised exercise programs.
- Supplying and fitting of braces or supports that may be required.
