We offer a wide range of physiotherapy services to treat sporting injuries at our clinic in Glasgow but don’t worry, when you contact us we will advise you on the correct service to choose and how much it will cost before you book.
How our sports physiotherapists can help treat football injuries
Our team of specialists are on hand to help diagnose and treat a wide range of injuries and pain usually experienced by footballers, such acute ankle sprains or knee injuries.
For example, if you’re experiencing foot pain but an x-ray found no fracture, our doctor can help diagnose a stress fracture via an ultrasound dignosis. Or, for long-standing hamstring or achillies injuries, we can perform Shockwave therapy which can help treat muscle, tendon or ligament issues.
Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) may work wonders for chronic or new sciatica or back pain.
Alternatively, you may require foot orthotics for long-standing injuries anywhere in the lower limb or for treatment of plantarfasciitis or bunions.
No matter your injury or condition, our team can help diagnose and treat it. Contact us to book an appointment.
