Paediatric physio

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in keeping young athletes healthy, active, and injury-free. As children and teens are still growing, their bodies are more vulnerable to certain types of injuries, particularly from overuse, rapid growth spurts, or high training loads. Common issues in young athletes include conditions like Osgood-Schlatter disease, Sever’s disease, patellofemoral pain, ankle sprains, and growth plate injuries. Our physiotherapists provide expert assessment and tailored treatment plans to address pain, improve movement patterns, and build strength and flexibility. We also focus on injury prevention and education, ensuring young athletes develop safe training habits that support long-term performance and well-being.

Football & rugby

Young footballers and rugby players often experience injuries such as ankle sprains, knee pain (like Osgood-Schlatter disease), and muscle strains. Physiotherapy helps manage these issues with tailored rehab programs focused on strength, balance, and joint stability—supporting a safe return to the pitch and reducing the risk of re-injury.

Gymnastics & dance

Gymnasts and dancers are prone to overuse injuries like lower back pain, hip impingement, and stress fractures due to the high demands of flexibility and repetitive movements. Our physiotherapists work to relieve pain, correct movement patterns, and build core strength to keep young performers moving safely and confidently.

Swimming

Swimmers may develop shoulder pain (often referred to as “swimmer’s shoulder”), knee issues, or muscle imbalances. Physiotherapy helps identify the root cause of discomfort, improve joint mobility, and support efficient technique, so young swimmers can stay strong in the water and perform at their best.

Athletics (track & field)

Young athletes involved in running, jumping, or throwing events can experience injuries such as shin splints, hamstring strains, and growth-related knee pain like Osgood-Schlatter disease. Physiotherapy supports recovery by addressing muscle imbalances, improving biomechanics, and guiding safe training progression to help young athletes perform at their peak while avoiding setbacks.

Tennis

Junior tennis players often deal with overuse injuries like tennis elbow, shoulder pain, or wrist strain due to repetitive strokes and intense training schedules. Our physiotherapy programs focus on improving joint stability, correcting technique-related issues, and building strength to ensure young players stay on court pain-free and competitive.

Hockey

Young hockey players are at risk for injuries such as groin strains, knee ligament sprains, and shoulder trauma from falls or contact. Through targeted rehab, strength training, and movement re-education, our physiotherapy team helps young hockey players recover fully, return to the ice safely, and build resilience against future injury.
