Sports and Rehabilitation Therapy

natural healthcare centre

Sports Therapist’s are experts in musculoskeletal disorders and treat pain, injuries, and chronic conditions through a combination of hands-on treatment and exercise therapy. Much like Physiotherapists, Sports Therapist’s undergo an intensive 3-year degree course which focuses on the musculoskeletal system and on restoring, maintaining and maximising movement in order to relieve pain and injury, improve functional, sport and exercise performance and increase quality of life.

The regulating body of Sports Therapy, The Society of Sports Therapists, describes the profession as:

“An aspect of healthcare that is specifically concerned with the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation of the patient back to optimum levels of functional, occupational and sports specific fitness, regardless of age and ability. It utilises the principles of sport and exercise sciences incorporating physiological and pathological processes to prepare the participant for training, competition and where applicable, work.”

A Sports Therapist is an allied health professional who has the knowledge, skills and ability to:

  • Utilise sports and exercise principles to optimise performance, preparation and injury prevention programmes
  • Provide the immediate care of injuries and basic life support in a recreational, training, occupational & competitive environment
  • Assess, treat, rehabilitate and, where and if appropriate, refer on for specialist advice and intervention.
  • Provide appropriate soft tissue interventions for the management of pain and injury
  • Plan and implement appropriate rehabilitation and return to training/work programmes

Whether you’re injured, experiencing chronic pain, want to perform better or are simply looking for some relief from life’s aches and pains, a Sports Therapist can provide expert care and attention.
