Our approach
We assess the injured area, how you move and what your sport or activity asks of your body. From there we build a rehabilitation plan that may include managing your training load, strengthening exercises, strapping, footwear changes, orthotics, mobilisation or dry needling.
Getting back to activity
You'll get clear steps for returning to activity, with milestones you can track. The aim is to get you moving again and lower the chance of the injury coming back.
Why injuries happen
- A sudden jump in training, such as running further or more often than usual
- Worn-out shoes, or shoes that don't suit your activity
- A change in surface, such as moving from grass to concrete
- A previous injury that didn't fully recover
- Weakness or stiffness in the feet, ankles or calves
Ankle sprains
Most ankle sprains recover well with a gradual return to activity rather than long rest. Balance and strengthening exercises are an important part of recovery and lower the risk of spraining the same ankle again. We'll show you which exercises to do and how to progress them.
Get an X-ray first if you can't walk four steps after an injury, or if there's tenderness directly over the ankle or foot bones. These can be signs of a fracture.
Funding
Sports injury treatment is available to private patients. If you hold a DVA card, ask us whether your treatment can be covered.
