Sports Injuries to Joints

Ligament injuries to the knee and ankle are the most common joint injuries in rugby, netball, soccer and hockey. These can happen any time in the season due to the twisting nature of the sport. It can range from minor strain where you miss only 2-3 weeks or to a complete tear, which may require surgery and therefore lead you to miss the season. Having said that, not all complete tears will require surgery. 

What We Do For You

At Picton Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre, we give you a quick diagnosis. We carry out a thorough assessment of the area and other causative factors. If necessary, we will send you for an MRI. We understand that every athlete would like to return to the field as soon as possible and we work hard to help you get back out there.


These injuries will need protective bracing followed by regimented rehabilitation. This will get you back to training. We use a different range of personalised strapping techniques for appropriate protection as you return to your sport. We expect an athlete to work hard at rehabilitation, which will ensure a quick and safe return.

Sports Muscle Strains 

Lower limb muscle strains like hamstring strains, groin strains, calf strains and quadriceps strains are the most common injuries that we see, especially in the winter season. These injuries can range from a minor strain to a significant tear. They can keep you out of the sport from a week up to 8-12 weeks. Our advice is that they should be looked at earlier rather than later since it is easier to fix them earlier.
