Sports Injuries

Sport in Tipperary and the injuries that come with it

Tipperary is a county with a proud sporting tradition — hurling, football, rugby, running, cycling, and gym training are all hugely popular. While staying active is vital for health, the physical demands of sport can lead to a range of musculoskeletal injuries.

Whether you're a competitive athlete or someone who trains for fitness, an injury can be frustrating. The right treatment and rehabilitation strategy makes the difference between a swift return to sport and a nagging problem that keeps coming back.

Common sports injuries we treat

• Muscle strains and tears — hamstrings, groin, calf, quadriceps
• Ligament sprains — ankle, knee, wrist
• Shoulder injuries — rotator cuff, impingement, dislocations
• Back pain from impact or overuse
• Repetitive strain injuries — tendinopathies, shin splints
• Joint dysfunction — hip, knee, ankle mobility issues
• Post-concussion neck and upper back tension

Anne's approach to sports rehabilitation

Anne understands the needs of active people — the goal isn't just to resolve the immediate pain, but to address the underlying cause and build resilience so the injury doesn't return.

Her approach includes:

• Detailed injury assessment including movement screening
• Targeted manual therapy and joint mobilisation
• Sport-specific rehabilitation exercises
• Biomechanical analysis and correction
• Graduated return-to-sport planning
• Performance optimisation and injury prevention strategies
