What we will do to help

Your Sports Therapist will work with you, usually using a combination of manual therapy and exercise therapy. These skills are well developed by sports therapists during their training, and are thoughtfully applied to individual cases in clinic to maximise their efficacy. A Sports Therapist is able to critically analyse the patient’s case history, and work out a plan to optimise their training and recovery efforts to gain improved performance or injury recovery.

Many people consult with a sports therapist as part of their regular recovery efforts. If you’re in a training plan for a sporting event, running or cycling race, triathlon, sports season, or any other physical challenge – working with a sports therapist could give you the competitive edge.

Sports Therapy is much more than just sports massage, but we understand that for some patients this is as much as they would like. A regular sports massage in Sutton Coldfield can be a useful tool in helping to sustain your efforts in exercise by giving you an additional facet to your recovery between workouts. Many people visit out sports therapists in clinic simply for a 4 or 8 weekly sports massage, and feel great benefit from doing so.

Treatment plans

For this reason, we book time with our Sports Therapists by 30 or 60 minute appointments. We recommend that all patients attending for the first time book a 60 minute appointment, so that your practitioner has enough time to get to know you and your desired treatment outcomes, while retaining a good portion of the appointment for treatment too!

Your practitioner will then devise a rehabilitation program to help you get over your injury. You may choose to use testing as part of your rehab package, to best guide your recovery and inform your plan. Your face-to-face appointments will see you engaging in meaningful rehabilitation exercises, with your Sports Therapist guiding you through. They will make sure you understand the intention of all the exercises in the program, and work with you to ensure your form is correct. Spending this time affirms the movement patterns in your mind, and makes sure you are clear on the objectives of the exercises. We also use an online program builder, so that you have access to watch exercise videos back, and log your progress at home.

Complete Performance Plan

Begin will a full assessment with your Sports Therapist. Talk through your training and recovery routines, and isolate where your performance could be aided to improve. Your practitioner will highlight any areas of asymmetry or weakness that could pose an injury risk, then work to optimise those with a strength and conditioning plan.


When you attend your next appointment, your practitioner will discuss the plan with you in detail before practicing the exercises included to make sure your form and understanding are correct. This is your time to ask questions, so don’t be shy!


After a week or so, your practitioner will arrange a progress call to check how your plan is progressing. This is an opportunity to make any amendments needed, so that your plan is as effective as possible. You can discuss which exercises are working well, and which ones may need small changes. You can update your practitioner about your training progress, and any success measures you have seen in the first couple of weeks.


A final face-to-face appointment will be arranged to re-test and ascertain the results of the program. This will determine your practitioner’s ideas about what comes next, but ultimately give you solid data about the improvements gained from your strength and conditioning program.
