Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about Sports Physiotherapy?
Want to know more about sports physiotherapy and how it could fit into your recovery or training? Start here.
How is sports physiotherapy different from general physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy at our Dubai clinic focuses on the physical demands of exercise and sport. Along with treating pain and injuries, we consider strength, movement, training load and the specific demands of your activity. There’s also a strong focus on identifying potential risk factors, reducing the chance of recurring problems and helping you perform at your best.
Can sports physiotherapy help improve my running technique?
Yes. If you’re a runner, video gait analysis allows us to assess your running technique and identify factors that may be affecting your efficiency or contributing to recurring problems. We can then recommend targeted strength, mobility or technique work based on what we see.
Can sports physiotherapy help prevent recurring injuries?
Yes. We can assess factors that may contribute to recurring injuries, such as weakness, reduced mobility, movement patterns or training loads. Rehabilitation can then focus on improving your strength, how you move, and your ability to handle the demands of your sport, reducing the risk of the same problem returning.
When should I see a sports physiotherapist for an injury or niggle?
If an injury or niggle is affecting your training, changing how you move or keeps coming back, it’s worth having it assessed before it becomes more troublesome. Early treatment can guide your recovery and may allow you to modify your training rather than stopping altogether.
Do you treat recreational and “weekend warrior” athletes in Dubai?
Absolutely. Sports physiotherapy at our Dubai clinic isn’t just for elite athletes; we enjoy working with recreational and weekend athletes as well, with treatment focused on your individual goals. That might mean returning to your favourite sport, taking part in a HYROX event or competing at the highest level.
