How our sports physiotherapists can help treat basketball injuries

For acute injuries we assess the possibility of stress fractures or ruptures and sometimes need to refer the patient to our doctor for an ultrasound diagnostic scan or for an MRI scan at the hospital.
Other acute injuries will be treated by our physiotherapists with advice regarding offloading, manual therapy or a rehab exercise plan.
For more chronic basketball related injuries the physiotherapist may utilise shockwave, laser or injection therapy.
We work as a team and the physiotherapist may also refer the patient for a biomechanical assessment or for foot orthotics.
