Sports injuries: physiotherapy at Hauora, Primrose Hill

(01) The injury

Our team has spent decades looking after athletes at the highest level.

The aim is simple: get you back to your sport safely, and stronger than before.

You might notice

  2. 02Pain that builds up gradually with training
  3. 03Pain that stops you training or competing
  4. 04An old injury that keeps coming back
  5. 05Uncertainty about when it is safe to return

Common causes

  1. 01Doing too much, too soon
  2. 02Previous injuries that were not fully rehabbed
  3. 03Strength or mobility gaps
  4. 04Changes in training, surface or equipment
