Here's a detailed overview of your treatment experience at our Liverpool Street clinic.

Based on your assessment, we develop a personalized treatment plan, selecting specific techniques and exercises tailored to your condition, body type, and goals.

Real experiences from clients who've experienced the benefits of our sports therapy services
"After a hamstring tear that wouldn't heal, I was recommended to the sports therapy team at Liverpool Street. Their comprehensive approach identified issues with my running gait I wasn't aware of. Six weeks later, I'm back to training at full intensity and feeling stronger than before!"

While there is some overlap, sports therapy is specifically focused on sports and exercise-related injuries and performance enhancement. Sports therapists have specialized training in athletic injury management, biomechanical assessment, and performance optimization. Physiotherapy tends to have a broader scope, covering neurological, respiratory, and elderly care in addition to musculoskeletal conditions. At our clinic, we offer both services and can recommend which is most appropriate for your specific needs.
Absolutely not. While sports therapy techniques were developed for athletic injuries, they are effective for anyone who wants to improve their physical function, recover from injury, or reduce pain. Many of our clients are office workers dealing with posture-related issues, people recovering from everyday injuries, or individuals looking to improve their general fitness and mobility. Sports therapy principles of movement optimization and functional strength are beneficial for everyone, regardless of athletic background.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, its severity, and your goals. For acute injuries, you might see significant improvement in 3-6 sessions. Chronic conditions typically require 6-10 sessions for optimal results. Performance enhancement programs may be ongoing with periodic reassessment. After your initial assessment, your sports therapist will provide a treatment plan with an estimated timeline and measurable goals to track your progress.
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is ideal. For lower body issues, shorts are helpful, while tank tops or t-shirts work well for upper body treatments. Your therapist may need to access specific areas for assessment and treatment, so clothing that can be easily moved or adjusted is best. Athletic wear is perfect, especially if your session includes exercises. If you're coming directly from work, we have changing facilities and can provide shorts or gowns if needed.
Some techniques, particularly deep tissue massage and myofascial release, can cause temporary discomfort, especially when treating injured or tense areas. However, our therapists are skilled at working within your comfort tolerance and will constantly communicate with you about pressure levels. The principle of "therapeutic discomfort" applies—some techniques may be uncomfortable but should never be truly painful. Always let your therapist know if any technique causes excessive discomfort so they can adjust accordingly.
Many private health insurance plans cover sports therapy treatments. We work with all major UK insurance providers including BUPA, AXA, Aviva, and others. Before booking, check your policy details regarding coverage for sports therapy or rehabilitation services. Our clinic can provide all necessary documentation for insurance claims, and we offer direct billing with many providers.
