A sprain is perhaps one of the most common Cairns sports injuries we see presenting at Wellness Embodied. They range in severity from mild to severe, depending on how the injury is impacting the client. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring joint and soft tissue range of motion, strength and stability.
Strains can range from: pain with no injury to the muscle, to a full thickness tear. They can occur in the muscle belly, where the muscle meets the tendon, and in the tendon itself. Rehabilitation focuses on reducing pain, restoring muscle strength and length, and reducing risk of re-injury.
Our Physiotherapist Alyza has completed further postgraduate Sports Physiotherapy training. She is passionate about providing professional Cairns sport injury treatment and rehabilitation for everything from an ACL tear, to fractures, tendon problems, sprains, strains and more.
Alyza is one of our CCMI trained Concussion Management Practitioners and provides Physiotherapy services to local sporting teams, including the Wanderers Rugby Union. She is also our Running and Strength / Movement Assessment Physiotherapist.
