Sports Therapy Physiotherapists

About Us

Founded in 2002 Sports Therapy is located in a purpose-built clinic @132 Collingwood Street. We are open from 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday to cater to before work/school and after work/school schedules.

We use functional, high–end rehabilitation techniques to treat musculoskeletal conditions from annoying aches and pains to acute injuries. We work with patients in our large and sunny gym and ⁄ or one of our 9 private treatment rooms to develop individually tailored, activity–specific treatments.

Priding ourselves on education as we go, we focus on teaching our clients WHY their injuries occur, what factors may have contributed to the incident and what we need to work together on to reduce their pain and dysfunction.

Where we feel we make the most difference is in identifying future goals and helping clients meet these through functional strength, biomechanical movement corrections, muscle balancing and activity specific drills that help prepare and simulate the challenges that lie ahead for their injured tissues.

Our therapists have a wide variety of skills (acupuncture, Kinesio strapping, manipulative treatments, massage therapy/soft tissue mobilizations, neural mobilizations etc), which we share regularly whether through co–consultations, in–services, or clinical workshops.
