How We Can Help.

Symptoms, Treatment & How We Can Help Your Recovery.

Learn about common MSK injury symptoms, effective treatments, and how our expert team supports your recovery journey every step of the way.

Sports Injuries may be hard to avoid with active children, and can range from minor cuts and bruises, to more serious sprains, fractures and broken bones. Injuries can occur for a number of reasons, including not wearing correct protective sports equipment, not warming up correctly or from dehydration. Below are some of the most common types of sports injuries in children:

All of our Physios have training in the assessment and diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries. They employ the most advanced techniques and their results are sometimes instantaneous. Apart from providing rapid pain relief, there are a number of other important ways that our Physiotherapists can help with injuries in children. These include:

Identifying exactly what’s wrong with your child’s back, neck or other areas of the body because they’re trained to diagnose the specific causes of body pain. Teaching your child exercises that will help with the injury. Identifying the factors that led to the injury in the first place, our Physios can advise on how to avoid musculoskeletal injuries in the future.

Possessing advanced skills including pain management, our Physios offer a broad range of treatment options. As a result, they are in the best position to improve your child’s overall strength, mobility and co-ordination.

Our Physios are highly qualified and trained in the assessment and treatment of all types of musculoskeletal and sports injuries. They have a comprehensive knowledge of biomechanics, tissue pathology and tissue healing.

Chartered Physiotherapists play an integral part in the treatment, rehabilitation and injury prevention of sporting teams and organisations and can help your child to get back to pain free living or sport as soon as possible.

Had a very positive experience. Had severe back pain and Dylan was able to see me at short notice. He was very thorough and clear in assessing and explaining my condition and structuring a recovery exercise program that worked very succesfully. I am now fully recovered and looking forward to being as active as I was before my injury.

Really happy with the two appointments I had with Dylan Connelly to treat my calf strain. His approach was both professional and personable and he ensured that I was completely comfortable during all phases of the appointments. He explained and demonstrated the exercises in 'lay' terms and ensured that I understood and was happy with the approach and expected outcomes. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.

I met with Lisa on three occasions in relation to my hamstring and she was absolutely amazing! So easy to chat to and super informative. You need to book at least a week or two in advance to get a spot with her and it's no surprise. She's absolutely fantastic! He explained and demonstrated the exercises in 'lay' terms and ensured that I understood and was happy with the approach and expected outcomes. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.

I went to Olga for 4 or 5 weeks before the marathon this year for hip pain. I was contemplating not running as my long run training had become so painful on the hip. Olga treated with dry needling and massage and over 2 sessions, I saw a big difference. I continued a weekly session to keep me loose and followed her exercise plan. I completed the marathon with no hip issues and felt like my recovery after was a lot faster than previous years.

I had a painful trapped nerve in my neck which caused pain together with pins and needles running into my arm and hand. I attended Mohammed twice over a period of two weeks. It completely resolved after second appointment. Mohammed is an expert professional at what he does. I would highly recommend his services. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.

I can only recommend Dr. Muhammed Sohail. I’ve been to many physio consultants and he’s been the very best so far: dry needling has improved my IT band issues so much over two sessions including my knee pain. I would definitely recommend Dylan for any physio needs.
