In the world of sports, injuries can happen when we least expect them — whether you’re a weekend warrior, a college athlete, or a professional competitor. At Keswick Physiotherapy Spine and Sports Injury Center, we understand how crucial it is to get back in the game safely and quickly. That’s why our clinic is staffed with expert physiotherapist Edmonton professionals who are passionate about helping athletes of all levels recover faster, perform better, and prevent future injuries.
Understanding Sports Injuries and Their Impact
Athletic injuries can affect not just your physical health, but your mental well-being and overall performance. From sprained ankles and torn ligaments to chronic pain and repetitive strain injuries, these conditions can sideline you from the sport you love and disrupt your daily life.
At Keswick Physiotherapy, we specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing a wide range of sports-related injuries, including:
- Muscle strains
- Ligament sprains (like ACL or MCL tears)
- Tendonitis
- Rotator cuff injuries
- Shin splints
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Post-concussion symptoms
- Stress fractures
- Knee, hip, and ankle injuries
Personalized Care for Every Athlete
What sets our clinic apart is our personalized, athlete-focused approach. No two athletes are the same — nor are their injuries. That’s why our rehab programs are customized based on:
- The type and severity of the injury
- The sport or physical activity you participate in
- Your personal goals and recovery timeline
We begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify the root cause of the injury, followed by a treatment plan that evolves with your healing. Whether you need immediate post-injury care, post-surgical rehabilitation, or long-term performance enhancement, our physiotherapists work closely with you to achieve optimal results.
Our Cutting-Edge Sports Rehab Services
At Keswick Physiotherapy, we combine advanced technology, hands-on therapy, and evidence-based practices to deliver top-tier sports rehabilitation.
Here are some of the services we offer as part of our sports injury rehab program:
1. Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that accelerates healing in injured soft tissues, tendons, and bones. It’s particularly effective for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and tennis elbow.
2. Laser Therapy
We utilize Class IV laser technology to stimulate cellular regeneration and reduce inflammation. This speeds up recovery and improves circulation, especially useful for post-operative athletes or those dealing with joint pain.
3. Dry Needling / Intra-Muscular Stimulation (IMS)
Dry needling helps release muscle tension, trigger points, and chronic pain. It is highly beneficial for athletes with deep muscular pain or limited mobility caused by overuse.
4. Manual Therapy
Our expert therapists apply manual techniques such as joint mobilizations, myofascial release, and soft tissue massage to restore function, reduce pain, and prevent scar tissue formation.
5. Concussion & Vestibular Rehab
For athletes dealing with post-concussion symptoms, our vestibular rehab program focuses on restoring balance, reducing dizziness, and improving cognitive performance.
6. Functional Movement Screening
We evaluate how your body moves during sport-specific activities to identify any dysfunctional movement patterns. This helps prevent future injuries and optimizes performance.
7. Strength & Conditioning Programs
Our rehab plans include progressive strengthening and conditioning tailored to your sport, enabling a safe and effective return to play.
8. Custom Orthotics
For athletes who need extra support during running or sport activities, we offer custom orthotic solutions that enhance foot mechanics and reduce stress on joints.
Recovery Through Education and Empowerment
One of the cornerstones of our practice is patient education. We don’t just treat injuries — we teach athletes how to understand their bodies and take control of their recovery. You’ll learn proper warm-up and cool-down routines, sport-specific injury prevention strategies, and long-term self-care techniques to avoid re-injury.
Our goal is to empower you with knowledge so you can maintain peak physical condition, both during recovery and beyond.
Rehabilitation for All Ages and Athletic Levels
Whether you’re a teen training for your first tournament, an adult who enjoys recreational soccer, or a senior staying active through golf or tennis, we offer sports rehab tailored to your needs.
We serve a wide range of athletes:
- Youth and high school athletes
- University and college players
- Competitive and elite athletes
- Weekend warriors and recreational players
- Masters and senior athletes
No matter your level of play, we treat your recovery as seriously as you do.
MVA and WCB-Covered Injuries
