Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Our sports injuries rehab team is headed up by Dean Payne BSc Hons MCSP CSCS as well as being staffed by chartered physiotherapists, sports therapists, strength and conditionig coaches and corrective exercises specialists. They have provided physiotherapy services and consultation to professional football and rugby squads as well as many individual athletes. As well as treating the specific injury they also work closely with consultant surgeons, coaches and other support staff.
We aim to provide a complete sports injury package encompassing assessment, treatment, rehabilitation and advice with the initial assessment being made by the sports physiotherapist. If and when appropriate, an early referral will be made to other specialist clinicians for further advice and management. During the initial assessment, individual sport-specific rehabilitation programmes are discussed and implemented to optimise recovery time. The clinicians will liaise with the patient's coach or trainer when appropriate.
Due to our integrated approach to assessment and rehabilitation we have an exceptional success rate with chronic injuries that may be multifactorial in nature.
