     What is Sports Therapy in Injury Management?

     Sports Therapy is the science of diagnosis of an injury, finding the cause and providing the correct treatment and exercises to help heal the injury and prevent it recurring.

Pro-Am's Sports therapy Service

At Pro-Am you are getting a 2 for 1 offer

1st service - Manual assessment - We assess, treat and clinically reason whats causing the problem. We use our skills to work on releasing any tension in the muscles and joints relevant to causing your problem. From here we can move on to our 2nd service.

2nd service - Rehabilitation - This is the really important one. We help you to regain stability and control to help you move better and prevent injury.

This approach allows you to really understand what is wrong and what you need to do to get better. It revolves around team work between the therapist, and you the client. Team work may also involve coaches, friends, parents and work colleagues. Giving you a support network for getting you back to full fitness.

Our Promises

Injury can hinder even the toughest of individuals and make any person feel vulnerable. Pro-Am's commitment to your health and well-being can help you through these challenging moments.

  • We keep things simple. You'll be told what your problem is in simple English we don't want to overcomplicate your injury with unnecessary medical terms.

  • Our aim is to return you to your chosen activities, (whether it be in sport, at work or at leisure) stronger and more confident.

Prevention being better than cure we can give advice on methods to eliminate risks of injury. If an injury should occur we ensure that your condition is swiftly assessed by our qualified Sports Therapist. The appropriate treatment can then be started.

Approximately 90% of all injuries are non-surgical. If further investigation is needed we can refer you in the appropriate direction.

No matter how great or small your problem, treatment is essential. Our focus and service is the same for everyone - Elite.

Treatment times range from 30 minutes to 1 hour and our fast recovery reputation means many patients are free of pain before six treatments.

Treatment of injury is done by correcting and improving  the natural healing process. The body is always attempting to heal itself, our job is to help assist it. Home exercises and treatments will always be given to get the patient to take an active role in recovering from their injury. This also helps to speed up the recovery process and effectively aid the treatments done by the therapist.

We are well aware that every day an athlete isn't training through injury is a day that may prevent them performing at their best or every day you are not at work you are not earning. We also advise on what training and activities the person can do throughout the time of injury, to minimise any loss of fitness or time off work and provide advice for a safe return to training/competition or work.

We can also promise you if you are not showing signs of improvement within a month then we wont keep treating you, we will tell you why and refer you on for further investigation. Our track record is the majority of our clients are better within six treatments or less. There is no pressure to keep coming back, we understand our limits and that is why we give you the tools to self manage your condition.
