Your sport. Your goals. Your recovery.
Get back to doing what you love.
An injury can interrupt more than your training. It can mean missing your weekly game, losing momentum at the gym or wondering when you can run again. At Progress Physiotherapy, we help you understand the injury and build a clear plan to move forward.
Care for injuries across all sports—from recreational activity to competitive participation.
Book an assessment ↗Sports rehabilitation for the way you move
You do not need to compete to benefit from sports physiotherapy. Your goal might be a comfortable round of golf, getting back on the pickleball court, finishing a running event or returning to your usual strength workouts.
We assess both new injuries and persistent pain and movement issues. Tell us what happened, what your sport asks of your body and what you want to return to. We connect those details with a comprehensive physical assessment and a practical rehabilitation plan.
Common sports injuries we treat
Sprains, strains & joint injuries
- Ankle sprains and ligament injuries.
- Hamstring, calf, quadriceps and groin strains.
- Knee injuries, including rehabilitation for ligament and meniscus concerns.
- Shoulder pain and rehabilitation following instability or dislocation.
Tendon pain & overuse injuries

A plan that understands your sport
The demands of running differ from those of golf, hockey or weight training. We build rehabilitation around the movements and effort your activity requires.
- Running and endurance activity: work toward the strength, endurance and tolerance needed for your training.
- Golf and racquet sports: address reaching, gripping, rotation and changes of direction.
- Team and court sports: progress toward the demands of acceleration, stopping, landing and cutting when relevant.
- Gym and strength training: rebuild confidence with the lifts and movements you want to resume.
- Cycling, swimming and other activities: adapt the plan to the positions, repetition and effort involved.
These are examples, not a limit on the sports we see. Bring us your goals, whether you are returning to a familiar activity or rebuilding after time away.
What happens at your assessment?
Your physiotherapist asks about the injury, previous concerns, training changes, recovery habits and the movements that are difficult. Relevant medical reports or surgical instructions help us understand your starting point.
Your comprehensive physical assessment may include joint movement, strength, balance and functional tasks suited to your injury. We explain the findings, agree on priorities and begin treatment at the same visit. If your presentation requires medical investigation, we help identify the appropriate next step.
Experienced clinicians. Evidence-informed care.
Progress Physiotherapy’s experienced clinicians combine current research, clinical judgement and your assessment findings to guide treatment. We explain why each part of your plan matters and review how it is helping you progress.
Your care can include exercise, hands-on treatment, activity guidance and appropriate evidence informed technology. We consider both the injured area and the movement demands you need to handle when you return to sport.

Innovative Care, Faster Results.
Our goal is to support healing and help you return to activity as efficiently as possible. We combine active rehabilitation with innovative treatment options, selected according to the evidence for your condition and your response to care.
High-power Class IV laser
Laser is one of the options we use within an evidence-informed plan to address pain and support rehabilitation for suitable soft tissue conditions.
Explore high-power laser →Radial & focus shockwave
Both technologies are available at the clinic. Your physiotherapist assesses their role for suitable persistent tendon and other soft tissue presentations.
Explore shockwave therapy →Class IV laser and radial and focus shockwave are included in your physiotherapy fee, with no additional charge. Your assessment guides which options fit your plan.
Your progression back to sport
- Manage symptoms and establish a starting point. Understand the injury and decide how to adjust activity while beginning rehabilitation.
- Restore movement and strength. Build the capacity and control needed for the next stage.
- Practise the demands of your sport. Progress relevant movements and training tasks as your recovery allows.
- Build participation. Plan a gradual return to training and play, reviewing your response along the way.
For a runner, this might mean progressing from everyday walking to a graded running plan. For a court-sport player, it might mean building from basic strength and balance toward landing and changing direction. Your injury and goals determine the sequence.
How do you know you are ready?
We look at progress in the tasks that matter: movement, strength, tolerance for repeated effort and confidence using the injured area. Your response during activity and afterward helps guide the next step.
Where surgery or medical restrictions apply, we work within those requirements. Return-to-sport planning considers your physical readiness and the demands of participation, alongside healing time.
A practical plan between visits
We explain what to practise, how to adjust training and what changes to report. Tell us about your schedule, equipment and upcoming events so the plan fits your life. With your consent, we can communicate relevant rehabilitation guidance to your other care providers or coach.
You should leave knowing what you are working toward and what to do next.

Your questions, answered
Do I need to be an athlete or play competitively?
No. We welcome people who want to return to recreational sport, exercise and an active lifestyle, as well as competitive participants.
Can I come in for an old injury that keeps returning?
Yes. An assessment can help identify the current movement, strength and activity issues contributing to your difficulty, and guide a plan to address them.
Can I continue training while receiving treatment?
We discuss which activities you can continue, which to modify and how to progress. The advice depends on your injury and recovery stage, so bring details of your current training.
Do I need a referral?
You can book physiotherapy without a physician’s referral. Some insurance plans require one for reimbursement; check your plan’s requirements.
Will my treatment include laser or shockwave?
Your physiotherapist selects treatments for a clinical purpose and with your agreement. These technologies are available without an additional charge when included in your care.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothing for movement, relevant medical reports, surgical instructions if applicable, and your insurance details. Your training schedule and a description of the tasks you want to return to are also useful.
