Sport is a vital part of the Australian lifestyle – it promotes good health, stress relief and is fun. Sometimes injuries may occur through sport, but fortunately most injuries can be effectively treated by your physiotherapist. Physiotherapy treatment may enable you to return safely to your sporting activity more quickly that just “rest and see what happens”. We will also give advice to prevent sporting injuries, and treat muscle and joint imbalances.
