Expert Treatment & Injury Prevention with Revive Physiotherapy
At Revive Physiotherapy, our team of experienced sports physiotherapists are dedicated to providing expert treatment and injury prevention strategies for athletes and active individuals in Perth. Our comprehensive approach to sports physiotherapy is designed to help you achieve optimal performance, prevent injuries, and recover quickly and safely.
What is Sports Physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of injuries related to sports and physical activity. By combining a deep understanding of the musculoskeletal system with expertise in sports-specific biomechanics, our sports physiotherapists are able to:
- Assess athletes and identify potential weaknesses or imbalances
- Develop tailored programs to minimise injury risk and optimise athletic performance
- Utilise evidence-based techniques such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, and modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation to address injuries and facilitate recovery
Our sports physiotherapists play a vital role in helping athletes achieve their goals, whether that’s returning to sport after injury, improving performance, or simply enjoying recreational activities. By creating sport-specific rehabilitation plans, we ensure that athletes regain the strength, flexibility, and coordination needed for a safe and effective return to their chosen sport.
Ultimately, our goal is to keep athletes healthy, performing at their peak, and able to participate in the activities they love.
Objectives and Benefits of Sports Physiotherapy
The primary goals of sports physiotherapy are to provide education and support, optimise athletic performance, and facilitate rehabilitation. Our sports physiotherapists aim to help athletes understand their bodies, movements, and injury risks, and provide self-management strategies for long-term health.
By achieving these goals, sports physiotherapy offers numerous benefits. Athletes can expect faster injury recovery and return to sport, as well as improved athletic performance through enhanced strength, flexibility, and endurance. Our sports physiotherapists also provide effective pain management through hands-on therapy and exercise, and facilitate post-surgical rehabilitation to aid recovery and restore mobility.
Some of the additional benefits of sports physiotherapy include:
- Injury prevention through the identification of movement imbalances and weaknesses
- Increased mobility and flexibility to prevent stiffness and improve movement efficiency
- Long-term joint and muscle health to reduce the risk of future injuries
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Our experienced sports physiotherapists treat a wide range of sports-related injuries, including:
- Ligament injuries such as ACL tears in the knee, shoulder dislocations, and sprained ankles
- Muscle tears such as a torn hamstring or calf muscle
- Joint-specific injuries such as meniscus (cartilage) tears in the knee and impingement syndromes in the hips or shoulders
- Overuse injuries such as:
- Tendinitis (now known as tendinopathy) in areas like the Achilles, patella, rotator cuff, or tennis elbow
- Stress fractures and shin splints
We also provide post-surgical rehabilitation for injuries such as ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, and meniscus and ligament repairs. Additionally, our services include concussion management and recovery, as well as treatment for chronic pain conditions in athletes.
