What is a a Qualified Sports Therapist?

What does a sports therapist do?

Have you ever been side-lined from your favourite sport due to an injury or have you felt that ache in your muscle after extra training? 

If your answer is yes, you might be surprised to learn just how beneficial a sports therapist can be in treating a range of injuries, and restoring balance and flexibility to stiff muscles — and it’s simply not just a case of reaching for the ibuprofen! 


A sports therapist is a highly trained professional who specialises in evaluating and rehabilitatively treating musculoskeletal conditions that affect athletes or others with active lifestyles or varied exercise regimes. 


They can tailor treatment programmes specifically to your individual needs, using evidence-based techniques before, during and after an event or competition. 


From reducing swelling and inflammation, to helping relieve fatigue and restoring mobility, there is perhaps no better way to bounce back from an injury than with the help of sports rehabilitation.

Whether you’re a professional athlete or an amateur sports enthusiast, there is no denying that these physical setbacks can put a damper on your game.


When traditional treatments like rest and pain management fail to deliver long-term relief, a sports therapist can be an invaluable asset in your journey back to full health and fitness. 



From deep tissue massage to targeted exercises, sports therapy is a powerful tool for targeting sports injuries from the root.
