Sports Injuries

One area the team specialise in is the management of sports injuries. Our team have experience in most types of sports injuries; this comes from looking after professional as well as recreational sports teams. (see meet the team)

According to research from some leading Universities in the UK there are up to 29 Million sports injuries each year in the UK, While 1 in 3 is bad enough to result in treatments.  The most common injury of all happens to the lower limbs

The clinic accepts all types of sports injuries from musculoskeletal dysfunction and strains to post operative surgical management and its final rehab. Working in a tennis club certainly results in seeing many “tennis elbows” but many more present with hip and back pain.

Ensuring you are fit to return to sport is fundamental to our care so we work closely with your own coach/personal trainer or link with one of our own to ensure you are match fit not just pain free.

The team at Newlands Physiotherapy are committed to providing the best possible care for all our sporting clients and have developed a profiling system based on the work they do in the high performance world.

Now everyone can have an MOT pre season to identify areas of weakness, tightness, altered function to remedy and therefore maximise potential and in many cases prevent injury.

It is recognised that certain factors influence the likely hood of injury in particular sports , eg very stiff upper back is known to play a part in developing shoulder pain and in overhead racquet sports, even back pain.

From our conventional examination and functional testing using video analysis the results are easy to understand. A before and after dvd allows you to chart your recovery or improvement!
