Our Approach to Sports Injuries
Pro Health Clinic treats sports injuries from initial acute management through to full return to play. Our practitioners have experience across a wide range of sports and can manage everything from acute muscle strains and ligament sprains through to tendinopathies, stress injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation. We understand the demands of your sport and structure recovery accordingly.
A sports injury assessment goes beyond the injured structure — we assess the biomechanical, training load, and sport-specific factors that contributed to the injury to reduce the risk of recurrence. Return to play is structured and evidence-based, with clear criteria for each stage of progression rather than arbitrary time frames.
What We Treat
- Acute muscle and ligament injuries
- Tendinopathy management and rehabilitation
- Shoulder sports injuries (rotator cuff, labrum)
- Knee injuries (ACL, meniscus, patellofemoral)
- Running and overuse injury management
- Return-to-sport programs and criteria-based progression
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Sports injury assessment covers your injury history, mechanism, current functional status, and sport-specific demands. Your practitioner will carry out a thorough physical examination and provide immediate management advice, a diagnosis, and a structured rehabilitation plan with a clear return-to-sport pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pro Health Clinic from Canterbury?
Pro Health Clinic is approximately 4.5km from Canterbury — around 15-18 minutes by train (T3 to Sydenham then T2 to Ashfield), or a 12-minute drive via Parramatta Road.
Do you treat Canterbury patients?
Yes — we regularly treat patients from Canterbury for chiropractic, physiotherapy, and musculoskeletal care. Canterbury is within our service area and accessible by both train and car.
Should I use ice or heat for a sports injury near Canterbury?
For acute injuries in the first 24-72 hours, cooling the area (ice wrapped in a cloth for 15-20 minutes) can help manage swelling and discomfort. Heat is more appropriate for muscle tightness and chronic conditions. The PEACE & LOVE framework has largely replaced the old RICE protocol — your practitioner will advise on the appropriate approach for your injury.
How soon should I see a practitioner after a sports injury near Canterbury?
Ideally within 24-48 hours of significant injury. Early assessment allows accurate diagnosis, appropriate first-line management, and avoids practices that might delay healing. For injuries involving significant swelling, joint instability, or inability to weight-bear, seek assessment the same day.
Do I need a referral to see a sports physiotherapist or chiropractor near Canterbury?
No referral is needed to see a physiotherapist or chiropractor at Pro Health Clinic. You can book directly online or by phone. If your injury requires imaging, your practitioner will refer you for the appropriate scans.
