Sports Therapy

---

While sports therapists and physiotherapists share many skills and often work closely together, their focus is slightly different:

• Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals trained to assess and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and complex conditions.
   
• Sports Therapists specialise in musculoskeletal care with a strong background in sports and exercise. Their role is often more focused on injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance optimisation.

At Peak Physio & Fitness, our sports therapists and physiotherapists work side by side, ensuring you get the right approach for your individual needs.

For a more detailed explanation, see our blog: What is the difference between sports therapy and physiotherapy?

A sports therapy session may include:

• Assessment of your injury or movement problem
• Hands-on treatments such as massage or joint mobilisations
• Exercise prescription to aid recovery and prevent re-injury
• Taping, strapping, or support techniques where appropriate
• Education on managing your condition and optimising performance
   

Sports therapy isn’t just for athletes. We see people of all ages and activity levels, including:

• Runners, cyclists, and gym-goers looking to stay injury-free
• Individuals recovering from sprains, strains, or overuse injuries
• Anyone wanting to improve movement, strength, and resilience
• People using exercise as part of a healthy, active lifestyle
   

• Expert knowledge in exercise, rehabilitation, and performance
• Collaborative care between physiotherapists and sports therapists
• Personalised treatment tailored to your activity, sport, and goals
   

Whether you’re managing an injury, looking to improve recovery, or simply want to keep moving at your best, sports therapy can help.
