Our physio team has considerable expertise in treating and managing sports injuries for athletes of all levels — from first-timers to seasoned pros. We don’t just treat the injury — we get to the root cause, support your return to sport, and help prevent future setbacks.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat

We work with a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Muscle strains and tears

  • Ligament sprains (ankle, knee, shoulder)

  • Tendon injuries (e.g. Achilles, patellar, tennis/golfer’s elbow)

  • Shin splints and stress-related injuries

Our Approach

Sports injury management at Live Well Physio is tailored, evidence-based, and performance-focused. We combine hands-on treatment with movement retraining, strength programming, and education — so you can return to your sport confidently and safely.

Your recovery plan may include:

  • Physiotherapy and manual therapy

  • Exercise rehabilitation and strength training

  • Biomechanical and gait assessments

  • Return-to-sport testing and planning

  • Dry needling and soft tissue release

  • Strapping, taping, and bracing

  • Collaboration with coaches, GPs, or specialists as needed

Play Smarter. Train Better. Prevent Injury.

Prevention is just as important as recovery. We help you identify movement inefficiencies, muscle imbalances, and training errors that could lead to re-injury — and give you the tools to build resilience and longevity in your sport.
