therapiessport and dance injuries
Sports and dance injuries may be caused by general overuse of a particular muscle or joint or by a specific injury or incident.
Sports injuries must be treated promptly and the treatment must be effective. Carefully planned rehabilitation is essential to enable sportsmen and women to return to full sporting performance as quickly as possible.
Eileen Strouzer, who leads the team at achillesphysio, was appointed the North East Regional Physiotherapist for UK Athletics working with potential world class performance athletes. Eileen was also responsible for setting up a sports injury center for the Ministry of Defence in the north east, and treated military personnel for a number of years. Additionally, she has worked with professional dancers and performers from companies such as the Ballet Rambert, Scottish Ballet, Tap Dogs, the Royal Shakespeare Company and Northern Stage.
sports massage
Sports massage can greatly benefit performance and the maintenance of fitness.
The physical benefits include injury prevention, enhanced mobility and body maintenance. The recovery of injured muscle tissue is enhanced, performance is boosted and the overall life of your sporting career extended.
Sports massage also assists the reduction of tension and pain by helping to release the body’s endorphins.
Scar tissue is broken down, leading to enhanced flexibility and elasticity in the muscles.
