What Is Sports Therapy?
Sports therapy is a specialist area of clinical practice focused on preventing and overcoming musculoskeletal injuries and improving movement quality, daily function and performance. It is not just for elite athletes. It is for anyone who wants to move well and stay active, at any level and any age.
At Active Motion, we work with recreational runners, gym-goers, weekend golfers, netball players, cyclists, and people who simply want to stay in good health and mobile as they get older. Our approach combines hands-on treatment, targeted exercise rehabilitation, and expert coaching to deliver lasting results.

One of our patients ruptured her ACL in December playing netball. Working with Jordan ahead of her reconstruction surgery, she built strength, mobility, and confidence to the point she sometimes forgot about her injury. She said she felt mentally and physically prepared for both the operation and the rehabilitation ahead.

Unless unforeseen circumstances arise, you will stay with the same therapist throughout your course of treatment. Continuity of care is important to us.
