Sports physiotherapy for foot / ankle
The foot and ankle are complex structures that absorb enormous loads during sports. Typical sports injuries we treat include sprained ankles, shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, and overuse injuries to the foot, such as heel spurs. Our approach to sports physiotherapy starts with an in-depth examination to find the exact cause. We often combine manual therapy to restore joint mobility with specific rehabilitation to strengthen the muscles in the lower leg and improve stability around the ankle. We also analyze your biomechanics to correct inappropriate patterns. The goal is not only to eliminate the pain, but to make your foot and ankle stronger than before the injury.
Sports physiotherapy for the knee
We see injuries such as runner's knee, jumper's knee, meniscus injuries or diffuse pain around the kneecap every day. Regardless of whether the injury occurred acutely or gradually, an accurate diagnosis is essential. Our sports physiotherapy focuses on identifying why the knee has been overloaded. Is it due to weakness in the hip or reduced mobility elsewhere? The treatment consists of targeted strength and stability training for the knee, hip and foot. We combine this with manual therapy to relieve symptoms and optimize the function of the knee. We have extensive experience with both acute injury treatment and rehabilitation after knee surgery, and we will guide you safely through the entire process.
Sports physiotherapy for hip / groin
Hip and groin pain is common in sports with many changes of direction, accelerations or kicks, such as football, handball and running. Diagnoses such as adductor-related groin pain (inner thigh), "sports hernia" or hip impingement syndrome are common. This area is anatomically complex, and our sports physiotherapists are specialized in resolving these issues. Treatment often requires very specific treatment and rehabilitation. We focus on restoring muscle balance around the pelvis and hip, including the gluteal, psoas, adductor and hamstring muscles.
Manual therapy is used to release tension and improve mobility in the hip, pelvis and lower back, so you can return to your sport without pain.

"It turned out very well!"

Sports physio for the back / pelvis
Back and pelvic pain can affect all athletes, from weightlifters to golfers. It can manifest as acute "back pain", disc-related pain that radiates down the leg, or more persistent overload of the muscles and joints around the pelvis (e.g. the SI joint). In sports physiotherapy, our first step is always a thorough examination to rule out serious conditions and identify the exact source of the pain.
Treatment focuses on manual therapy (mobilization and manipulation) to restore normal mobility and reduce pain. In parallel, we initiate specific training of the muscles around the pelvis, back, abdomen and hips to create stability and regain confidence in the back.
Sports physiotherapy for the shoulder
The shoulder is the body's most mobile joint, which also makes it vulnerable, especially in throwing sports, swimming, racket sports and strength training. Typical sports injuries include impingement (impingement syndrome), rotator cuff tendon injuries and shoulder instability (looseness). A well-functioning shoulder requires perfect interaction between the shoulder blade, back and arm. Our sports physiotherapy therefore does not only focus on the shoulder joint itself. The treatment involves manual therapy to ensure full mobility in the thoracic spine and shoulder, combined with specific rehabilitation. We have a strong focus on strengthening the small, stabilizing muscles (the rotator cuff) and optimizing control of the shoulder blade. This is essential for a good course.
Sports physiotherapy for the elbow
Although known as "tennis elbow" and "golfer's elbow," elbow overuse injuries occur in many sports, including climbing, crossfit, and weight training. These conditions are caused by irritation of the tendon attachments on the outside or inside of the elbow and can be very limiting. Our approach to sports physiotherapy starts with ensuring the correct diagnosis, as elbow pain can also originate from the neck or shoulder. Our treatment focuses on reducing the irritation through load management and manual treatment of the tense muscles and joints. The most important part, however, is specific and progressive rehabilitation, often focusing on eccentric strength training, to rebuild tendon tolerance and strength.
