Sports injuries benefit from immediate treatment so that swelling and inflammation of soft tissues is minimised. The correct advice from the start ensures that no time is lost before rehabilitation begins. This means a quicker return to sport and less chance of re-injury.
At the Holly House Sports Injury Unit a physiotherapist is on-call during opening hours to give advice to patients who have sustained acute injuries. We also routinely treat chronic and overuse injuries.
Our specialist physiotherapists have post-graduate qualifications in treating sports injuries and a Sports Medicine doctor who works with elite sportsmen and women holds weekly clinics.
Co-operation with coaches/trainers is encouraged and we can advise on appropriate training methods and regimes.
The Unit has direct access to the excellent diagnostic facilities at the Hospital such as MRI and CT scanners, ultrasound and X-ray, and works closely with the Holly House Knee Unit and specialist orthopaedic surgeons.
