Your Sports Injury Assessment

We Look Beyond the Pain.

A sports injury assessment considers how the injury affects your movement, strength, activity and goals.

  • Discuss your injury and symptoms
  • Understand how the injury occurred
  • Review your current activity level
  • Assess relevant movement and mobility
  • Consider strength and functional limitations
  • Understand your training or sport requirements
  • Develop an appropriate rehabilitation approach

What We Want To Understand

When did the injury happen? Was it sudden or gradual? What activity caused it? Is there swelling or stiffness? Which movements are difficult? Have you stopped training? Have you received previous treatment? What activity or sport do you want to return to?

Patient Guidance

Helpful Habits During Sports Rehabilitation

Your rehabilitation programme should be individualised according to your injury and assessment.

✓ Do

  • Follow your individual rehabilitation programme.
  • Progress activity according to professional guidance.
  • Allow appropriate recovery between training sessions.
  • Tell your physiotherapist if symptoms change.
  • Build strength and movement progressively.

! Avoid

  • Do not rush back to full training after an injury.
  • Do not ignore persistent or worsening symptoms.
  • Do not suddenly increase training load.
  • Do not return to competition solely because pain has reduced.
  • Do not continue an exercise that causes concerning symptoms without discussing it with your clinician.

⚠ïļ When Should You Seek Medical Evaluation?

Seek appropriate medical evaluation when an injury causes severe pain, significant swelling, inability to use the affected limb normally, obvious deformity, persistent symptoms, or symptoms following significant trauma.

A physiotherapy assessment can help determine whether physiotherapy is appropriate or whether further medical evaluation should be considered.
