Depending on your assessment, treatment may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, dry needling, or other suitable physiotherapy techniques. Your rehabilitation plan will continue to develop as your recovery progresses.
Can physiotherapy help with sports injuries?

Your physiotherapist will assess the type of sports injury, your movement, strength, and the physical demands of your chosen sport. Rehabilitation is then tailored to your individual goals and stage of recovery.
Depending on your condition, sports physiotherapy may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, dry needling, and progressive exercise programs that help prepare you for returning to training and sport.

Your physiotherapist will monitor your progress and adjust your physiotherapy treatment as your movement, strength, and function improve.
Why is exercise included in physiotherapy treatment?
Exercise is an important part of many physiotherapy treatment plans because it helps restore movement, improve strength, and support rehabilitation.
Your physiotherapist will prescribe appropriate exercise programs based on your injury, condition, physical function, and goals. Exercises can then be progressed safely as your recovery develops.
For clients returning to work or sport, exercise may also become more specific to the physical demands of those activities.
What is manual therapy?
Manual therapy is a hands-on physiotherapy technique that may be used as part of your rehabilitation.
Whether manual therapy is suitable depends on your injury, symptoms, and assessment findings. It is often combined with exercise and other physiotherapy treatment techniques to support recovery.
As your rehabilitation progresses, your treatment plan may gradually place greater emphasis on active exercise and movement.
Is dry needling available?
Yes. Dry needling is one of the treatment techniques available at Motion Ease Physiotherapy.
Your physiotherapist will determine whether dry needling is appropriate following your assessment. When suitable, it may be included alongside manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and other physiotherapy treatment techniques.
Every treatment plan is personalised, so the techniques used will vary according to your condition and recovery goals.
