Meeting Your Injury Needs

Physiocare is committed to delivering treatment for sports injuries, helping you return to your active lifestyle as quickly and safely as possible. Based in Maroochydore, we support patients with customised treatment plans.

Sports injuries encompass a wide range of conditions that occur during physical activity, typically caused by overexertion, improper technique or physical impact. Common sports leading to injuries include football, rugby, gymnastics and weightlifting, which often involve strenuous activity, repetitive stress and high-impact forces.

Our physiotherapists utilise modern methods and facilities to address a wide range of sports injuries. The importance of physiotherapy in managing these injuries cannot be overstated. It helps reduce pain, enhance recovery and prevent future injuries by addressing underlying issues and promoting optimal movement patterns.

From initial diagnosis through to exercise programs and rehabilitation, we provide comprehensive care designed to meet needs and goals. To book a sports physio appointment, call (07) 5443 5695.

Diagnosis & Treatment

At Physiocare, we offer diagnosis and treatment of various sports-related injuries, ensuring tailored care for each patient:

Sprains: Sprains are common injuries where ligaments, the tissues connecting bones, are overstretched or torn due to sudden twists, falls or impacts. Commonly affecting the ankles, knees and wrists, these injuries cause pain, swelling and instability. Treatment typically involves rest, ice, compression and elevation (RICE), followed by physiotherapy and, in severe cases, immobilisation or surgery to promote healing.

Strains: Strains occur when muscles or tendons are overstretched or torn, usually from overuse, excessive force or improper technique. This frequently affects areas such as the back, hamstrings and quadriceps, resulting in pain, muscle spasms and restricted movement. Treatment generally involves RICE, anti-inflammatory medications and a structured rehabilitation program to restore strength and flexibility.

Tendonitis: Tendonitis is characterised by inflammation of the tendons due to repetitive motion and overuse, commonly affecting the shoulders, elbows and knees. Activities such as tennis, golf and running are frequent culprits. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation through rest, ice, anti-inflammatory medications and physiotherapy, including exercises to improve technique and prevent recurrence.

Stress Fractures: Stress fractures are small cracks in bones caused by repetitive force or overuse, often seen in athletes involved in running and jumping sports. These fractures cause localised pain and tenderness in weight-bearing bones like the tibia and metatarsals. Treatment involves rest, activity modification and a gradual return to activity, supported by rehabilitation to strengthen bones and improve biomechanics.

We also address other sports-related issues including ligament tears and overuse injuries. Contact us to discover more about how we can address your ailment.
