Elite Sports Injury Management at Physioworks Pakenham

Elite-sport

If you have a sports related injury or concern, no matter what your sport or level of participation, Physioworks Health Group can help.

Led by David Francis who has been the Head Physiotherapist at the Collingwood Football Club since 1995, our team of health professionals have the skills to accurately diagnoses and treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal sporting conditions.

Physioworks will advise when further investigations are required, such as ultrasounds, CT’s and MRI’s, and we have relationships with a wide range of health professionals to ensure, for example, that you benefit from a skilled ultrasonographer or radiographer. Physioworks also have an extensive referral network should a referral to a Sports Physician, Surgeon or other medical practitioner be required.

Managing treatment of a sporting condition and getting back to your sport involves planning a progressive return to sport with knowledge of when to return to training, training loads and communicating with coaches. We can help with your rehabilitation in all these areas.

If your injury requires more than Physiotherapy we can provide other health care therapies including Podiatry, Exercise Physiology, Massage Therapy and Clinical Pilates, at all of our clinic locations, with practitioners who can fully co-ordinate your rehabilitation.
