Sports injury physiotherapy
Sprains, strains and overuse — treated with a return-to-sport plan that gets you back safely, not just pain-free.
Sports injuries — sprains, strains, tendon and overuse problems — need more than rest: they need a structured return-to-sport plan. Physiotherapy treats the injury, rebuilds strength and control under load, and gets you back to training safely without re-injury.
Understanding sports injuries
Whether you run, lift, play cricket or footy at the weekend, an injury is more than an inconvenience — it interrupts something you love. Rushing back too soon is the most common reason injuries become recurring problems.
A good sports rehab plan does two things: it treats the injured tissue properly, and it progressively loads you back to full performance so the injury does not return. That is exactly how we structure recovery at Ajira.

Frequently asked questions
When can I return to sport after an injury?
Return-to-sport timing depends on the injury and how you respond to loading — not just the calendar. We use objective strength and movement tests to confirm you are ready, which is the best way to avoid re-injury.
Should I use ice or heat on a sports injury?
For a fresh injury, relative rest and gentle movement matter more than ice. Modern guidance favours early, controlled loading over prolonged icing. We will advise what is right for your specific injury at assessment.
Do you treat runners and gym-goers, not just athletes?
Absolutely. Most of the people we help are recreational runners, gym-goers and weekend players. The same return-to-activity principles apply whether you compete or train for enjoyment.
