Sports injuries and sprains
Sprains, strains, and overuse injuries are the tax the mountains charge around here. We work with them through physiotherapy assessment, graded loading, and hands-on care, with one governing idea: manage the load, keep you moving, and never pretend a timeline we cannot see.
How it tends to show up
- An ankle that rolled on the trail and has opinions about stairs now
- A knee that finishes runs angrier than it starts them
- A shoulder that stopped trusting overhead anything
- The tendon that whispers for weeks before it shouts
How we approach it
The front door for injuries. Eamon handles most sport and tendon work: assessment, honest staging, and a return plan with milestones instead of guesses.
Useful alongside rehabilitation, particularly for the muscles compensating around an injury while it rebuilds.
Rest is not a plan
Complete rest feels responsible and mostly is not. Tissue heals along the lines it is loaded, so the plan is nearly always modified activity: enough load to signal rebuild, not enough to re-injure. The skill, and the reason to get assessed, is knowing where that line sits this week and how to move it next week.
This is also why we will not promise return-by dates we cannot see. What we promise instead is a clear picture of the milestones between you and the thing you are itching to get back to.
