What this covers
Conditions in this group
- 01
Knee pain
Pain around the kneecap, along the joint line, or with stairs, squats and running. Hip and foot mechanics can play a part.
- 02
ACL and ligament injuries
ACL tears, MCL sprains and other knee ligament injuries, with or without surgery. Rehab aims to rebuild control and confidence in the knee.
- 03
Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
Sharp pain under the heel, often worst with your first steps in the morning or after sitting, and with long hours standing.
- 04
Achilles tendonitis
Pain and stiffness at the back of the heel or lower calf, often after a sudden increase in running, hills or court sports.
- 05
Sprains and strains
Ankle sprains and muscle strains in the calf, hamstring or groin. Early guided rehab aims to restore stability and strength.
- 06
Sports injuries
Overuse and tendon problems from running, hockey, soccer, skiing and the gym. We plan your return around your sport and season.
How we assess and treat sports injuries
We look at the injured area and the joints above and below it. We check strength, balance and stability, and watch how you walk, squat or hop when it is safe.
Plans combine progressive strength work with taping and load advice. Shockwave therapy is commonly used for stubborn tendon and heel pain. Kinesiology supports conditioning, and dry needling and IMS are available from authorized practitioners.
Sports injury rehabilitation and getting back to play
Sports injury rehabilitation moves in clear stages, from basic drills to full training and then games. Whether your goal is walking the dog, a shift on your feet or a hike in Fish Creek, we plan around it.
When to see a doctor first
Some leg and foot injuries should be checked by a doctor before you start rehab. Look out for these signs.
- You cannot put weight on the leg, or a fracture seems likely
- A joint that locks, looks deformed or swells quickly
- Calf pain, swelling or warmth, especially after surgery or a long trip
- A hot, red, swollen joint with fever
- Numbness, colour change or coldness in the foot
Can physiotherapy help plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis physiotherapy often includes calf and foot strengthening plus advice on footwear and daily load. Heel pain physiotherapy is tailored to how long you have had symptoms and how much you stand or walk each day.
When can I return to sport after an injury?
It depends on the injury and your sport. Your sports physio uses strength, balance and movement checks, not just the calendar, to decide when you are ready to train fully again.
Do you help after ACL surgery?
Yes. ACL rehab follows your surgeon’s protocol, from early swelling control and range of motion to strength, jumping and cutting drills. Some people also start rehab before surgery to build strength.
