Sports and orthopaedic physiotherapy treats sports injuries, other injuries and trauma, and disorders in the skeletal system. It also specializes in rehabilitation after surgery and preparation for surgery. Physiotherapy before an operation can help to strengthen the injured area and improve range of movement before surgery. Physiotherapy can also help the injured area to recover faster after surgery.
Some conditions that are treated by Sydney Sports & Orthopaedic Physiotherapy include sports injuries such as ligament strains, sprains and tears, inflammation in the joints and tendons, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and scoliosis. The physiotherapist will first assess the injury or the problem area. The initial consultation and assessment is followed by a personal treatment plan. Treatments can include manual therapy such as manipulation of muscles and joints, massage, ultrasound therapy or neuromuscular stimulation, and rehabilitation exercises to continue at home to speed up recovery.
