INJURY RECOVERY & RELAXATION
What is sports Physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy is a specialist area of physiotherapy focused on injury prevention, rehabilitation, and performance. Unlike general physiotherapy, it specifically addresses the unique demands that sport and physical activity place on the body.
At Functional Movement Physio, our Liverpool-based sports physios don't just treat your symptoms – we identify the underlying causes of your injury, restore optimal movement, and build resilience to help you perform at your best.
-
ACL tears, meniscus problems, runner's knee, patellofemoral pain
Whether you've had a traumatic injury on the pitch or developed gradual pain from running, we'll assess the root cause, reduce your symptoms, and build a progressive rehab plan to get you back to full function. -
Rolled your ankle and it's not quite right? Recurrent sprains affecting your confidence? We restore strength, proprioception, and stability to prevent re-injury and get you moving with confidence again.
Rolled your ankle and it's not quite right? Recurrent sprains affecting your confidence? We restore strength, proprioception, and stability to prevent re-injury and get you moving with confidence again. -
Muscle strains are one of the most common sports injuries – but they're also one of the most likely to recur if not rehabilitated properly. We identify why the strain happened and ensure you return stronger and more resilient.
-
From overhead athletes to gym-goers, shoulder pain can be complex. We assess your movement patterns, strengthen the rotator cuff, and restore pain-free range of motion for lifting, throwing, and everyday activities.
-
Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow
Tendon pain responds best to progressive loading programmes, not rest. We use evidence-based rehab protocols to build tendon capacity and get you back to training without the niggling pain that's been holding you back. -
Shin splints, stress reactions, repetitive strain - Often caused by training errors or biomechanical issues, overuse injuries need more than just time off. We identify what's overloading the tissues, modify your training intelligently, and build resilience to prevent recurrence.
-
Lower back pain – related to sport and training
Back pain doesn't have to end your season. We assess how your sport and training might be contributing, improve your movement quality, and develop a targeted strength programme to keep you performing pain-free. -
Helping you safely return to sport after ACL reconstruction, shoulder surgery, and more
Surgery is just the first step. Our structured post-op rehab programmes follow the latest protocols to restore strength, confidence, and function – ensuring you hit every milestone and return to sport when you're truly ready, not just when you feel ready.
Common sports injuries we treat
Our approach to sports injury rehabilitation
We combine hands-on treatment with exercise-based rehab to ensure lasting recovery. At our Liverpool clinic, your sports physio treatment may include:
Comprehensive assessment & movement analysis – Understanding your body, your sport, and what caused the injury.
Manual therapy & soft tissue techniques – Hands-on treatment to reduce pain, improve mobility, and aid healing.
Exercise rehabilitation – Tailored strength and conditioning programs to restore function and prevent reinjury.
Return-to-sport planning – Step-by-step progression to ensure you're ready to perform safely.
Injury prevention & performance programmes – Training advice and exercise strategies to keep you competing at your best.
What to expect from your first appointment
Comprehensive sports physio assessment – We identify not just what hurts, but why it happened through detailed movement analysis and sport-specific testing.
Clear diagnosis & plan – No jargon. We explain what's causing your pain and give you honest timeframes for getting back to your sport.
Hands-on treatment – Manual therapy, joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, or dry needling to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Progressive rehab programme – Tailored exercises that take you from initial healing to match fitness, with systematic progression at every stage.

Sports Physio FAQ’s
-
Not at all. We treat anyone with an injury related to exercise, training, or active living – from elite athletes to casual gym-goers and people who just want to stay active without pain.
-
Recovery time depends on your injury and personal goals. Your physiotherapist will give you a clear plan and realistic timeframes after your initial assessment. Minor strains may resolve in 2-4 weeks, while more complex injuries like ACL rehab can take 6-9 months.
-
No referral is necessary. You can book directly with our Liverpool clinic online or by phone.
-
Initial consultations start from £70 and follow-up sessions from £55. We also offer multi-session packages for better value. For full pricing details and package options, visit our Prices & Services page
-
Sports physios specialise in getting you back to performing, not just pain-free walking. We understand the specific demands of your sport, use objective testing to ensure you're truly ready, and focus on preventing re-injury – not just treating symptoms.
-
Most sports injuries need more than one session to properly rehabilitate. The exact number depends on your injury severity and goals. We'll discuss this openly at your first appointment – we'd rather be honest upfront than overpromise.
-
Wear comfortable sportswear you can move in (shorts are ideal for knee/leg injuries). Bring any scans, medical notes, or the sports footwear you normally train in if relevant to your injury. See more here
-
Absolutely. We offer pre-season screening, movement assessments, and strength programmes specifically designed to reduce injury risk and improve performance. Prevention is always better than cure.
-
That's exactly what we do. Recurrent injuries usually mean the root cause wasn't addressed. We find out why you keep getting injured and fix it properly this time.
What makes us different?
You Wouldn't See a General Doctor for Brain Surgery – So Why See a General Physio for a Sports Injury?
Sports injuries demand specialist expertise. At Functional Movement Physio, we don't just help you get "better" – we get you back to performing.
We Speak Your Language
We understand the difference between a footballer's groin strain and a runner's. We know what "match fit" really means and programme your rehab for the demands of your sport – not just pain-free walking.
We Test, Don't Guess
We use objective strength testing, movement screening, and sport-specific assessments to ensure you're truly ready to compete – not just symptom-free. Being pain-free on the treatment table and being ready for 90 minutes of football are two very different things.
We Think Long-Term
We find out why you got injured in the first place. Weak glutes causing hamstring strains? Poor ankle mobility leading to knee pain? We identify the root cause and fix it – so you don't end up injured again in three months.
Evidence-Based, Not Trendy
No gimmicks. No miracle cures. Just proven, research-backed rehabilitation combining hands-on treatment with progressive loading – because that's what gets athletes back to sport safely and successfully.
The bottom line? If you want to get back to your sport stronger, faster, and more resilient – you need a specialist. That's exactly what we are.
