The initial focus is on reducing symptoms, which may involve a variety of techniques such as hands-on therapy, stretching, resistance exercises, and activity modifications. This is tailored to each individual patient and their specific injury.
Once symptoms are under control, the goal shifts to restoring joint function and range of motion. At this stage, treatment becomes more specialised to the demands of the patient’s sport or everyday life, depending on their goals.
For example, a rock climber with tennis elbow would receive treatment that focuses on grip strength and shoulder stability, tailored to the specific demands of climbing.
Each patient’s treatment plan will be unique and tailored to their individual biomechanics and sport. The ultimate goal is to reduce symptoms, restore function, and prepare the patient for a full return to their sport while minimising the risk of re-injury.
If you have a sports injury, it’s important to seek out a thorough assessment to develop an effective treatment plan that takes into account all aspects of your injury and individual needs.
