WHY A SPORTS INJURY MANAGEMENT PLAN IS ESSENTIAL
To achieve the best outcomes, a tailored sports physiotherapy management plan is crucial. Our sports physios in Sydney provide comprehensive care, combining expert injury assessment with targeted therapies to accelerate your recovery and reduce the risk of further injuries.
Our injury management process includes:
- Accurate diagnosis — May involve imaging like x-rays or scans for clarity
- Appropriate immobilisation — Using splints, taping, or bracing to stabilise injuries
- Hands-on techniques — Myofascial release, joint mobilisation, and cold laser therapy
- Rehabilitation plan — Exercises tailored to individual goals, fitness levels, and injury history
Sport injuries we treat
- Joint injuries — Knee, ankle, shoulder, and finger sprains
- Muscle injuries — Hamstring, calf, and quadricep strains
- Tendon injuries — Achilles, patellar, and gluteal tendon pain
- Overuse injuries — Stress fractures and shin splints
- Post-surgery rehabilitation — Knee, shoulder, or ankle reconstructions and arthroscopies
At EastWest Physiotherapy, we guide you through every stage of rehabilitation, ensuring you recover fully and achieve your fitness goals. Book an appointment today or contact us for more information.
Taping and Bracing
Our sports physiotherapy services include expert taping and bracing to support and protect injured areas during the recovery process. These techniques are often used to stabilise joints, facilitate muscle activation, and reduce pain by offloading tendons or muscles.
Common conditions requiring taping or bracing:
- Joint sprains or ligament injuries
- Muscle tears
- Joint dislocations
- Tendinitis
- Plantar fasciitis
- Patellofemoral pain
Taping is usually combined with a rehabilitation plan designed to restore full strength and stability. Over time, patients are gradually weaned off external support under the supervision of a sports physiotherapist.
How taping works:
- Rigid tape — Provides structural support and stabilisation
- Kinesio tape — Activates muscles without restricting movement
- Rigid braces — Offer added support for more severe or post-surgical injuries
For those recovering from common field sports injuries, such as ankle sprains, preventative strapping may also reduce the risk of re-injury. Research shows this is particularly beneficial for individuals with previous ligament damage.
At EastWest Physiotherapy, our Sydney sports physiotherapists use high-quality materials and years of taping expertise to provide tailored support. We complement this with an exercise program to optimise your rehab and ensure long-term recovery.
