Injury Prevention

If you are an athlete or a sportsperson, you might be well aware of the fact that injuries are part and parcel of any sport. With all the fun one has while playing sports comes the risk of injuries. It is important to address these risks and take measures to avoid such injuries. Hence, we at Flexifit help in recovery and include injury prevention techniques in our treatments. 

What is injury prevention?

Some injuries do take a lot of time to recover from. When you are finally back on the field, you don’t want the risk of falling or injuring yourself again, right? We at Flexifit help you do that.  

With Flexifit, you can reduce the risk of these injuries substantially. We not only help sportsmen to deal with injuries, but we also see to it that they don’t happen again. For this, we teach them various injury prevention skills and techniques that they can practise to reduce the risk of the injuries reoccurring. 

Sometimes, injuries also happen because of imbalance or muscle weakness. Our core and strength training programs help sportsmen improve their strength, mobility, and agility to help them play better.

How does injury prevention at Flexifit work?

We at Flexifit understand that all injuries cannot be avoided, especially when it comes to a highly physical activity like sports. Hence, our experts work with patients to relieve their pain, improve, and avoid further injuries. 

How we at Flexifit help you with injury prevention:

  • Formulation of goals based on the sport

Based on what type of sport you play and your needs, our experts will devise a plan to help you achieve your goals while staying safe and away from injuries. They will assess your sport based on its intensity, training setting, the need for flexibility, mobility, balance, agility, etc. This will help them design a plan around your sport that doesn’t only help you heal but also helps you learn techniques to avoid any such accidents again. 

  • Diagnose imbalance or sudden weakness in the bones 

Many injuries happen due to imbalance or sudden weakness in the bones. Our experts find out the real cause behind it and treat the cause along with the injury. If the cause is weak muscles or a deformity, we work with you to overcome that and get back to the field even stronger.

  • Improve mental health with injury prevention skills

With the root cause treated, the patient’s injuries are less likely to reoccur on the field. After serious injuries, many sportsmen can have the instinct to try to avoid injuries continuously. That is a psychological response to a traumatic incident.

However, once you have recovered from the injury and know how to keep yourself safe, you will be able to concentrate on your game more than trying to keep injuries away. The injury prevention skills we teach you will take care of you and keep you safe.

  • Injury prevention exercises

Injury prevention at Flexifit is done with the help of various exercises that help patients get their mobility and movement back. Then, they gradually gain back their strength and balance through exercises and therapy. Throughout this treatment, they are advised on techniques to help them avoid such injuries further.

  • Identify the possible risks of further injuries

Based on your movement patterns and other factors, our experts help you identify the possible risks of further injuries. With that in mind, you are advised on some precautions and skills to help you avoid injuries. In turn, they will also help you perform better. This is because you will have better control of your body and its movements on the field, hence giving you an advantage.

Why choose Flexifit?

We at Flexifit understand a sportsman’s need to be able to get back on the field. But we also understand the importance of helping them heal faster. However, we assure you that with our treatment plan made for recovery and injury prevention, they will be able to get on the field stronger and better than before.

I can commend Georgia and Tessa for their excellent hands-on approach. So many physios nowadays are often hands-off, so being treated at FF has been a refreshing change 🙌🏻

The team at FlexiFit Physio are exceptional practitioners who genuinely care about the outcomes for their clients. When you book with Georgia or Tessa you know you have their full attention for the session, they are not juggling multiple clients and their hands on therapeutic approach is seamless and extremely effective to reduce pain and enable progression from injury. I can not recommend them more highly. Thanks guys!

My experience at FlexiFit Physiotherapy has been truly exceptional, and I would wholeheartedly recommend both Georgia and Tessa to anyone in search of effective support for managing persistent pain conditions. Both Georgia and Tessa have been integral to my journey in addressing both acute knee pain and long-standing issues with back pain, tension headaches, and migraines. In the past, my interactions with healthcare professionals haven't always yielded lasting results. However, the level of attentiveness and authentic care they've shown for my overall well-being and the underlying causes of my pain are clearly reflected in their hands-on approaches, follow- up care and advice and healing strategies. I feel so lucky to have found this practice.

These girls saved my day! Professional & friendly service… despite being fully booked, they were quick to respond & help me on the first possible cancellation! Felt so bad with vertigo, was off balance and literally needed support & help to get into the rooms, walked out a different person, independent & without help… just amazing!

I’ve been seeing firstly Georgia and then Tessa at Flexifit Physiotherapy since I moved to the area early in 2022. I went there initially because I wanted a physiotherapist in the Collaroy area, but then I stayed because they really help. They have always listened to my various problems, asked questions and then worked using both hands-on therapy and have given me exercises to do at home to complement the treatment, making sure I knew what I was doing and doing it correctly. You get their undivided attention for the whole appointment and it never feels like you are being rushed through as just another body to be treated and that they’d rather be somewhere else. Thank you and long may you keep up the good work!!!

Highly recommend the professional, personalised and friendly service delivered by both Tessa and Georgia. I sort after their expertise to alleviate back/shoulder/neck aches. Their hands on treatment style is effective and worth a visit. I feel like I have a new lease on life after an appointment.

Sisters are doing it... After years of uncomfortable aches and twinges I was referred to FlexiFit. Georgia is my therapist and I'm ecstatic to report no more sleep deprived nights and an improved range of movement in my shoulders and overhead. Coupled with an arsenal of exercises for prevention. I give you 5/5 Georgia - Thank you, so very much
