What is sports physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy is a speciality of physiotherapy that focuses on the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries that occur during exercise and sport, as well as performance development. The aim of sports physiotherapy is to restore the athlete’s or sportsperson’s body to optimal function after injury and to support a safe return to training and competition.
The physiotherapist assesses movement, body control, muscle strength, mobility and potential stress factors that may predispose to injury. Treatment often includes manual therapy, muscle conditioning exercises, mobility exercises, body control development and individualised exercise programming. In addition, sports physiotherapy takes into account sport-specific requirements to ensure that training and rehabilitation support the specific sport and goals.
Sports physiotherapy is suitable for everyone from active to competitive athletes and is an important part of both injury prevention and long-term performance development.

How does sports physiotherapy differ from regular physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy places particular emphasis on developing mobility, strength, body control and sport-specific performance. Compared to conventional physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy is often more active and includes more specific training and recovery guidance.

What ailments does sports physiotherapy help with?
Sports physiotherapy helps in the treatment and prevention of muscle and tendon injuries, strain injuries, joint pain and recurring sports injuries, for example. It also supports post-operative rehabilitation and helps to optimise exercise performance.

Do I need a referral for sports physiotherapy?
You do not need a referral if you seek sports physiotherapy privately. You can book an appointment directly with a physiotherapist. If the treatment is reimbursed by an insurance company or other body, a referral may be required depending on the practice.
When to come for sports physiotherapy?
This is how physiotherapy progresses during your appointment
1
Initial mapping and discussion
The intake starts with a comprehensive initial assessment, where we go through the client’s symptoms, health history and possible functional capacity challenges. We will also discuss work, leisure and everyday stress factors to get a full picture of your situation. The aim is to understand the background to your symptoms and find the right approach to treatment for you.
2
Examining the symptoms
After the discussion, we will examine the symptoms in more detail using physiotherapeutic methods. For example, we assess muscle strength, mobility, body control and possible areas of pain. If necessary, we will carry out more detailed functional tests. The examination provides the basis for building an individual treatment and exercise programme.
3
Treatment and rehabilitation plan
Based on the tests, we will draw up a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan for you. The plan may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, ergonomic guidance and concrete ways to alleviate symptoms and improve your ability to function. All interventions are based on your goals and your life situation.
4
Follow-up and further guidance
Physiotherapy does not end at the first visit. We will monitor your progress and adapt your treatment as necessary. You will also receive clear follow-up instructions for self-training and support for everyday activities. The aim is to achieve lasting results and strengthen your independent well-being.
