Sports Therapy

---

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

Physiotherapists are healthcare professionals trained to assess and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries, neurological issues, and complex conditions. 

On the other hand, sports therapists specialize in musculoskeletal care, with a strong emphasis on injury prevention, rehabilitation strategies, and performance optimization. 

At Peak Physio & Fitness, our sports therapists and physiotherapists work side by side to ensure you receive the most effective approach tailored to 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 enhance injury prevention while preventing re-injury 

- Taping, strapping, or support techniques where appropriate 

- Education on managing your condition, optimising performance, and implementing effective rehabilitation strategies
