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.

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.
