sports injuries faq
How does Physica Health treat sports injuries?
During the assessment, the physiotherapist or osteopath will ask questions to ascertain the nature of your injury. Treatment is divided into three phases: the mobility phase where we get moving, the activation phase where we get muscles firing, and the plyometric stage where we get you back into sports drills. Manual therapy, IMS, and taping are often also part of your treatment.
do i need a doctor’s referral before I see you?
No. Physiotherapists study six years of musculoskeletal assessment and diagnosis so a doctor’s referral is not needed.
If necessary, we will liaise with your doctor for further testing and imaging.
Do you specialize in post-op rehabilitation and return to sport?
Physica exists to specifically treat athletes. Our physiotherapist and osteopathic practitioners have over 40 years of combined experience and have worked with numerous teams and athletes. Our goal is to get you back to your sport as soon as possible!
