- Sprains and Strains: These are common sports injuries, often caused by sudden movements or overuse. They can leave you feeling stiff and weak. But with our rehabilitation, recovery is quick and effective.

- Tendon Injuries (e.g., Tennis Elbow, Achilles Tendonitis: Repeating the same movements, like swinging a racket or running uphill, can strain your tendons. This often leads to irritation and pain. Our rehabilitation focuses on easing the strain and strengthening the surrounding muscles for improved resilience.
We address each of these injuries with a customized plan. We ensure effective healing, improved function, and a reduced risk of recurrence.
