Expert treatment for sports injuries
A sports injury needs the right care early. Our Santacruz clinic treats ligament tears, muscle strains, sprains and other athletic injuries with a clear plan that takes you from first assessment through to getting back on the field.
This page covers treating the injury itself. Once you are moving well, our sports rehabilitation programme takes over to rebuild strength, fix movement habits and reduce the chance of a repeat injury.

How treatment works
Injury assessment
We work out what is injured, how badly, and whether you need a scan or a referral first.
Early care
Settle pain and swelling, protect the injured tissue and keep the rest of your body moving.
Rebuild
Progressive strengthening and movement work, tailored to what your sport demands.
Return
Sport-specific drills and clear criteria for when it is safe to go back.
Frequently asked questions
Should I rest or see a physiotherapist after a sports injury?
Seeing a physiotherapist early usually helps. Complete rest can slow recovery, while the wrong exercise can make things worse. We assess the injury and tell you what to do and what to avoid.
Do you treat ACL and other ligament tears?
Yes, both without surgery and after reconstruction. Your plan depends on your surgeon's advice and your goals.
How long will a muscle strain take to heal?
It varies with how severe the strain is and which muscle is involved. After assessment we will give you a realistic timeline.
Do I need to be an athlete to come?
No. We see professional athletes, recreational players and people injured doing everyday activities.
