“I have just had my first appointment with a physio, after taking up running during the first lockdown and increasing mileage I found myself in some pain and discomfort and decided I need to get it checked out. And I am so glad that I did. My issue has been diagnosed and has begun a treatment plan to help get me back on track and hopefully to my dream of competing in this year’s Brighton marathon Thank you so much, Francesca. I can highly recommend goPhysio Chandlers, Ford. They are also very friendly and welcoming. ‘

FAQs
What are the comm causes of sports injuries?
Sports injuries can be classified into 2 main categories; Traumatic from a sudden, memorable incident such as a direct blow/tackle or twisting/tearing motion or Overuse linked to training overload or sudden changes in activities that put stress through the body causing repetitive ‘microtrauma’ and injury.
Shouldn’t I just rest and my injury will get better?
Yes, some injuries will just improve by themselves with a bit of rest and some painkillers. But what constitutes ‘rest’? What if it’s not getting better in 6 weeks? What effect will ‘rest’ have on the rest of your body? This advice can often throw up more questions than solutions. By seeking expert guidance and advice at the early stages of an injury, you are more likely to keep being able to do the things you physically enjoy doing, prevent any secondary problems developing from enforced rest or not moving properly, speed up your recovery and prevent future reoccurrence of your injury.
At goPhysio, we will be able to reassure you what you should & shouldn’t be doing to help your recovery. We spend a long time with you 1-2-1 to fully understand your problem & answer all your questions. You’ll go away knowing exactly what is wrong with you & exactly how to help it get better. NOW – NOT IN 6 WEEKS!
The result is – a speedier recovery, getting back to what you want to be doing quicker & without the worry of the unknown.
There’s nothing worse than sitting around worrying about what may be wrong & whether you’re doing the right thing, we’ll alleviate your fears. Something has obviously caused your pain or injury and that needs to be addressed to help you longer term.
Our Physio and Sports Therapy service is a direct referral, which means you can just give us a call and book your appointment with one of our experts, without having to wait and see your GP.
How do you diagnose a sports injury?
If you think you may be suffering with a sports injury, it is important to get an assessment by a physiotherapist or sports therapist. The key to effective management of an injury, particularly an overuse injury, is accurately identifying exactly what’s causing it and addressing this. This will help to prevent any of those niggles turning into a bigger problem and possibly preventing you doing the sport of activity that you love.
