At Ryan Harris Physiotherapy, we provide care for athletes involved in a variety of sports, ensuring you receive treatment that addresses the specific demands of your activity. Our dedicated team understands the unique demands of each sport and provides personalised care to help you recover from injuries, prevent future issues, and perform at your best.
AFL (Australian Rules Football): As a physically demanding sport involving frequent running, tackling, and sudden changes in direction, AFL players often experience muscle strains, ligament sprains, and knee injuries. Our physiotherapy treatments focus on enhancing agility, managing impact-related injuries, and promoting rapid recovery to keep players at peak performance.
Soccer: Known for its continuous running, sharp turns, and frequent kicking, soccer players commonly face challenges such as muscle strains, ankle sprains, and knee injuries. We provide care to address these issues, including rehabilitation exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and injury prevention strategies tailored to the demands of the game.
Basketball: With its high-intensity movements, jumping, and quick direction changes, basketball players are prone to ankle sprains, knee injuries, and muscle strains. Our physiotherapy approach emphasizes enhancing agility, improving jumping mechanics, and managing joint stability to support optimal performance on the court.
Netball: Similar to basketball in its dynamic movements and sudden stops, netball involves frequent jumping and pivoting, leading to ankle injuries, knee pain, and muscle strains. Our treatments focus on strengthening key muscle groups, improving flexibility, and addressing biomechanical issues to prevent injuries and support long-term performance.
Running: Whether you're a long-distance runner or sprinter, running places repetitive stress on muscles and joints, resulting in conditions such as shin splints, knee pain, and IT band syndrome. We offer comprehensive care including gait analysis, strength training, and injury rehabilitation to improve running mechanics, prevent overuse injuries, and enhance endurance.
Swimming: Despite being a low-impact sport, competitive swimming can lead to shoulder injuries such as rotator cuff issues and swimmer's shoulder due to repetitive overhead movements. Our treatments focus on shoulder stability, stroke mechanics, and muscular balance to prevent injuries and improve performance in the water.
Gym/Weightlifting: Strength training and weightlifting activities can lead to muscle strains, joint issues, and overuse injuries. We provide targeted rehabilitation and conditioning programs to enhance strength, improve lifting techniques, and prevent injuries, supporting your fitness goals safely and effectively.
Tennis: Involving repetitive arm movements and quick lateral movements, tennis players commonly experience elbow and wrist injuries such as tennis elbow and wrist strains. Our physiotherapy treatments include pain management strategies, strengthening exercises, and biomechanical analysis to optimise racquet handling and prevent recurring injuries.
