FAQ
Sports care questions
Do I need a referral to book?
No. You can book a sports care assessment directly with our clinic.
Will I need an MRI or X-ray?
Only if the examination suggests it is necessary. Many injuries are diagnosed and treated without imaging.
Can I keep training while I recover?
Often yes, with modified activity. We design a plan that keeps you active without delaying healing.
How many sessions will I need?
Minor injuries may need two to four visits. More complex injuries need a longer programme, which we review regularly.
Do you treat non-athletes?
Yes. We treat weekend walkers, gym-goers and anyone with a joint or muscle injury.
