How our sports physiotherapists can help treat racquet sports injuries
There are a wide range of potential injuries that players of racquet sports can face, so the treatments can vary depending on the injury.
For example, tennis elbow can respond very well to shockwave therapy. Ankle sprains require offloading initially, followed by a rehab program. It is very important to rehab from an ankle injury as subsequent sprains from improper treatment can result in more damage being done – which could potentially be permanent if left untreated.
Racquet sports commonly result in foot injuries such as plantarfasciitis. Your physio will help with manual therapy of the surrounding soft tissue and advise a stretch and a strengthening program. However, longer term plantarfasciitis injuries would be referred to our biomechanical assessment department for further assessment.
Shockwave or injection therapy may be the physiotherapist’s treatment plan for tendinopathies or bursitis.
No matter your injury or condition, our team can help diagnose and treat it. Contact us to book an appointment.
