Injuries & Niggles

Have you been injured playing sport? Perhaps you have niggling muscular pains preventing you from performing at your best? At Bellingen Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre we understand how problematic and depressing injuries can be, that’s why it’s our mission to get you back to your sporting best as soon as possible. We take a holistic approach to injury recovery, focusing not just on the injured muscles, but also on other parts of the body that may have an impact, improving long-term strength and stability.

For the casual sportsperson we understand that injuries don’t just prevent you from training and playing, but can also impact your ability to go to work and earn an income. That’s why it’s important to find a physio you can trust to get you back in working order, as soon as possible. Whilst injuries are often of a similar nature for elite athletes, we also take into consideration the added intensity and usage of particular muscles that are associated with professional sports.

Recovering from Surgery

Being prepared for your surgery and the rehab that needs to be done afterwards is important for achieving the most positive outcome. We provide pre and post-op assessments to empower you with the information needed to get through surgery and recover as quickly as possible. 

Before surgery we assess your baseline strength and movement, providing you with tailored exercises to get your body prepared for surgery. We’ll talk through your surgery with you, helping you understand what outcomes to expect. After surgery is where the real work begins; we’ll work closely with you on the following:

• Provide advice tailored to your specific body and surgery on how to decrease the likelihood of post-op complications

• Help you progress your mobility in conjunction with your surgeon’s advice

• Program exercises to help improve your strength, movement and reduce stiffness
