Sports injury physiotherapy in Balsall Common and Solihull. Accurate diagnosis, progressive rehab, and confidence to return to sport.
You've got races booked, a team relying on you, or a routine that holds your week together. Being out isn't just frustrating — we understand that it feels like a part of you gets lost.
When it comes to your sport, active rehab is essential — a sheet of exercises isn't enough. We'll show you exactly how the rehab fits into the rest of your week, alongside the training you're still doing.
An injury knocks your confidence as much as your body. We rebuild both — evidence-led rehab, measured against real performance markers, so you go back knowing you're ready rather than hoping.
There are a few components to getting back to any sport, and skipping one is usually why people end up injured again. We work through as your partner in rehab to ensure you understand each component.
If you require further investigative support, we will provide the contacts and the documentation to support.
"Abi is brilliant - I received a comprehensive assessment, treatment and a tailored recovery plan which I will refer to beyond my injury. She also encourages any queries or concerns beyond the appointment, which is really refreshing. I will not hesitate in coming back in the future."
Where it hurts and what's causing it are different questions. We take a full history, test properly, and work out what's actually driving the problem — including the loading, technique or capacity issue behind it. If something needs a scan or a surgical opinion, we'll say so and point you toward the right people.
Hands-on treatment where it helps, load managed down to what the tissue can currently take, and enough movement that nothing stiffens up around the problem. This is the shortest stage, and the one most people mistake for the whole treatment.
Strength, control and tolerance built back progressively, and measured as we go. This is where most rehab stops too early — pain settles, the exercises get abandoned, and the tissue never gets back to handling what your sport asks of it.
Rehab that looks like your sport. Change of direction for team sports, running mechanics for runners, the sled and the wall balls for Hyrox. A calf that copes with walking isn't the same as a calf that copes with mile ten.
You go back when you've passed the tests for it, not when it feels alright. Strength compared side to side, the demands of your sport tolerated without a next-day reaction, and control holding under fatigue. That's the difference between returning and returning safely.
Every appointment includes assessment, hands-on treatment where it helps, and your plan to take away. The difference is how much testing we can fit in and the after care support.
Diagnosis, hands-on treatment and a plan. Right for most acute injuries and niggles.
Adds full strength profiling, movement screening and capacity testing. Best for recurring problems or multiple problem areas.
Everything above, plus a month of individual programming and direct support seven days a week. The one to book if you've got a season or a race in mind.
Follow-up appointments are booked as you need them. We'll give you a realistic picture of how many at the first appointment. We offer discounts for block bookings of over 5 sessions.
Every sport asks something different of a body. Understanding those demands is half of getting you back to it properly. We have links to several sporting organisations that provide elite level support to our clinicians. These are just some of the sports we work with.
Getting something assessed early is usually the difference between a few weeks and a few months. If you're not sure it's worth booking, ask — we'll tell you honestly.
