Sports Injuries

Physiotherapy‘Sports injuries’ covers a wide variety of injuries, and can involve the any part of the body from the neck to the toes.

The thing that sets sports injuries apart is the when they happen, and who they happen to. Sports injuries happen when the body is performing at a higher level than our everyday life requires. Injury is more likely when we are moving faster, doing repetitive movements, exercising into fatigue, or performing the extreme movements that sport demands. Unfortunately injury under these conditions tends to involve more tissue trauma and require quick treatment to prevent further damage and ensure complete healing.

At West London Physio, we have a wealth of experience in treating sports injuries. We give clear advice on acute injury management and tell you how to reduce the extent of the injury. We give you the treatment you need to promote quick and complete healing to reduce the time out from your sport. We then give a structured rehab program to prevent the injury recurring.

Gaitscan

We use the industry leading Gaitscan TM system to assess exactly how your foot functions during gait as you walk or run across a pressure plate. This enables the Physiotherapist to have a clear picture of your foot biomechanics and determine the effect this is having on your ankles, knees, hips and back.
