At Total Care Clinic, we understand how frustrating it can be when an injury interrupts your training, performance or everyday activity. As an established sports injury clinic, our chartered physiotherapists and podiatrists provide comprehensive assessment and evidence-based treatment for athletes of all levels.
Whether you train recreationally or compete at a high level, our focus is on safe, structured rehabilitation that supports full recovery and helps you return to sport with confidence.
Every appointment begins with a detailed assessment to identify the cause of your injury and any contributing factors. This includes reviewing your sporting background, training load, movement patterns, biomechanics and the specific demands of your sport.
By understanding both the injury and how it developed, we can address the source of symptoms and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Your treatment plan is individually designed and tailored to your injury, sport and stage of recovery. Physiotherapy may include hands-on treatment, progressive exercise rehabilitation and advanced techniques where clinically appropriate.
Our clinicians draw on recognised sports physiotherapy principles to support recovery at every stage, from early pain management through to return-to-sport preparation.
Hands-on treatment may be used to reduce pain, improve mobility and support tissue healing. This can include sports massage, deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilisation and Muscle Energy Technique, depending on your presentation.
Dry needling may be incorporated to help reduce muscle tension and modulate pain. Supportive taping techniques can also be used to provide stability and confidence during training and rehabilitation.
Where appropriate, your physiotherapist may use recognised assessment and treatment frameworks such as the McKenzie Technique, Mulligan Concept and Maitland Approach. These approaches are selected based on your injury and movement presentation to restore joint function and optimise recovery.
As a sports physio clinic, we place strong emphasis on exercise-based rehabilitation, with programmes designed to restore strength, mobility and control while respecting training loads and recovery timelines. Rehabilitation may include flexibility work, progressive strengthening, balance and agility training, plyometrics, and sport-specific return-to-play preparation.
Shockwave therapy is a specialised service available within our clinics. This advanced physiotherapy treatment uses acoustic wave technology to stimulate tissue healing and is commonly used for persistent tendon and soft tissue injuries that have not responded to other treatments. >>Read more about Shockwave therapy
