When you've injured yourself playing sport be it an impact in to your shoulder, a twist on your knee or ankle, a strain to a muscle or even something that has slowly evolved over time it is important to act early. The earlier you act, the quicker recovery you will have and the quicker you will be back out there doing what you enjoy. It is so important therefore to get checked out at the earliest convenience so you can be sure you are doing all the right things to help your recovery.
We can then assess you and give you the correct diagnosis, we can liaise with your GP if any further tests are needed. GPs are often thankful for this as often they have no idea what is going or what to do anyway when it comes to sporting injuries. Our patients have often been to A and E where they have been given a vague soft tissue injury diagnosis. We give you the exact diagnosis and then tell you what you need to do to get it better.
This will most certainly involve rehabilitation but may also include manual therapy and taping as required. We give you control how much you need to see us. Want to see us weekly for rehab sessions thats fine, want to go away and work on the rehab plan we set you thats fine, want milestones to be set so you know when you need to come back for progression that is fine too. You are in control.
What we try to do at Weymouth Phsyiotherapy is get people back to their sport in some capacity as soon as is safely possible. We see if as part of rehab. We want to make you robust both mentally and physically so you can perform at the level in which you want to. We give you advice on prevention and it is rare our patients re-present with the same problem later down the line.
