Sport Rehabilitation London
Marcophysio is London leading physiotherapy clinic for sports rehabilitation. All our physiotherapists have a keen interest in sports and exercise and have treated a wide array of sport related injuries, which include:
Shoulder pain: Injuries can be caused by direct trauma in many contact sports such as rugby or be the result of overuse like volleyball, fending, weightlifting, swimming. The most common injuries we treat at Marcophysio are: shoulder impingement affecting the tendons of the rotator cuff, acromioclavicular joint sprains, frozen shoulder, dislocation and instability.
Neck/back pain: In our clinics, we see many athletes with traumatic injuries a the back or neck mainly due to high impact. Back pain can also be caused and aggravated by poor posture and ineffective muscle control, poor core stability, or because of generative condition as spondylitis.
Knee pain: This is a very common complaint in many sports where there is an increase stress on the knee joint, such as running/sprinting, rugby, football and basketball. The structures that can be affected are: the ligaments/menisci (injured by excessive twisting), patella femoral tendon (jumper/runner's knee), knee cap (restricted and inefficient movement), hamstring sprain (excessive stress associated to hight movement speed and directional change).
Groin pain: This injury is typically the result of many associated factors which include reduced hip range of movement, muscle tightness, poor core stability, ineffective muscle recruitment. It is often caused by overuse and we often see it in rugby and football players.
Tennis elbow: Although the name, this is an injury we see in many people involved in "office work". It is a condition which affects the extensor tendons at the elbow (lateral epycondilitis) and it is highly debilitating when performing racket sports, but also when using the mouse and typing at work.
Ankle sprain: Marcophysio treats many clients with ankle sprains resulting from a twisting injury. If left untreated, it can become a recurrent debilitation injury. It typically affects the tendons on external side of the ankle.
