HOW SPORTS PHYSIOTHERAPY WORKS
INITIAL CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS
We conduct a comprehensive physical examination to identify the root cause of your injury. As part of this process, we may require imaging to investigate the issue further. Once we have a good idea of what the issue is, we’ll discuss our findings with you to help you understand what you are facing.
SPECIALISED TREATMENT PLAN
Our sports physiotherapists will create a treatment plan that’s specialised to your injury to fast-track your recovery. This plan will include an overview of the recovery timeline, as well as the specific in-clinic treatments and at-home exercises that will be applied.
EXPERT ADVICE
To help you better manage your injury during the treatment and recovery process, our sports physios will provide you with expert advice and answer any questions you may have about your treatment plan or progress.

Frequently asked questions
What do I need to share with Infinite Health's sports physio Sydney?
Sharing your fitness and sports goals with your Sydney sports physio is crucial to both parties understanding the methodology and path to rehabilitation. With a good working relationship with your sports physio, your treatment will be more productive, and you can feel confident you are working towards your goals. During your first appointment, our Sydney physiotherapy practice will provide pain relief, work to understand whether you're facing muscle or joint injuries, prepare an injury management plan, and help you to implement injury prevent to avoid further injury down the line.

Do I need to follow my physio treatment plan?
Following your tailored treatment plan is essential to beating your injury, meeting your rehabilitation goals, and further prevention.
If you think something is not working or an exercise is causing pain, don't be afraid to communicate your concerns, so your Sydney sports physio can adjust your plan to be more effective.
Is sports physiotherapy better than general physiotherapy?
While being quite similar to physiotherapy, sports therapy is a more focused branch of physiotherapy that is tailored specifically to injury prevention, pain management, and conditioning for sports activity. Sports physiotherapy may involve increasing core stability, dry needling, manual therapy, or post operative rehabilitation. Generally, this will include creating a progressive exercise program by our Sydney physiotherapy experts.
As physiotherapy is helpful for a broader range of illnesses and conditions, each discipline is ultimately more suited for different types of patients.
Our Sydney physiotherapy team offer both general and sports physiotherapy, whether you are injured from sporting activities, or you have an issue that is not sports related.
What is a remedial sports therapy massage?
Remedial massage therapy applied by our sports physio targets specific damaged, tensed, or immobile muscles in the body.
As a treatment system, it is designed to locate and repair damaged regions of the body to speed up natural healing and recovery.
For patients, remedial massage is particularly effective for several musculoskeletal issues, tackling both the symptoms and causes.
