Sports & Exercise Physiotherapy

Australia’s elite athletes and sporting teams work with physiotherapists to help them achieve and maintain their best performance. But what sets physiotherapists apart from the scrum of health practitioners available to manage a sporting injury?

Firstly, physiotherapists are registered professionals. This means they are accountable to a state registration board, and rigorous professional standards.

Secondly, physiotherapists have a unique level of education and training. All physiotherapists have completed a four-year university degree focusing on anatomy, physiology & biomechanics as well as specific joint and muscle assessment and treatment. The team at Sapphire Coast and Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy includes physiotherapists who have also completed a Masters Degree in Sports Physiotherapy. This qualification is recognised as one of the best in the world, and qualifies our Sports Physiotherapists to work at the Olympic Games.

At Sapphire Coast and Snowy Mountains Physiotherapy, we don't just cater for elite athletes; people of all ages and sporting abilities can benefit from treatment by our physiotherapists through:
