Sports physiotherapy in Hillcrest
A sports injury can affect much more than your ability to train. It can affect your confidence, fitness, performance and ability to participate in the sport you enjoy.
At One Sport & Wellness, our physiotherapists assess the injury and look at the factors that may have contributed to it. We then develop a structured rehabilitation programme based on your injury, your current physical capacity and the demands of your sport.
We treat a range of sports injuries, including:
- Muscle strains and tears
- Hamstring injuries
- Calf strains
- Groin injuries
- Tendon injuries and tendinopathy
- Ankle sprains
- Knee injuries
- Ligament injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Overuse injuries
- Running-related injuries
- Training-related injuries
Rehabilitation can include targeted strengthening, mobility work, movement retraining, hands-on treatment and sport-specific exercises.
For athletes, returning to sport isn’t simply about being pain free. We also want to restore the strength, control, mobility, power and confidence required to cope with the demands of your sport and reduce the risk of returning before you’re ready.
Physiotherapy for back and neck pain in Hillcrest
Back and neck pain can interfere with almost every part of life, including sleeping, working, exercising and performing everyday activities.
At One Sport & Wellness, we take a comprehensive approach to assessing and treating back and neck problems.
We can assist with conditions and symptoms including:
- Mechanical back pain
- Mechanical neck pain
- Postural-related pain
- Sciatica
- Nerve-related pain and symptoms
- Bulging discs
- Herniated discs
- Degenerative disc-related conditions
- Muscle and joint-related back and neck pain
Depending on your individual assessment, treatment may include exercise therapy, hands-on physiotherapy, dry needling, movement rehabilitation and education to help you manage your symptoms and regain confidence in movement.
Rather than simply treating the painful area, we aim to understand the factors contributing to your symptoms and help you develop strategies that you can continue using outside the physiotherapy practice.
Post-operative physiotherapy and orthopaedic rehabilitation in Hillcrest
Surgery may address the structural problem, but rehabilitation plays an important role in helping you regain movement, strength and function afterwards.
Our physiotherapists can assist patients following a range of orthopaedic procedures, including:
- Hip and knee replacements
- ACL reconstructions
- Tendon repairs
- Shoulder surgery
- Other musculoskeletal procedures
Post-operative physiotherapy is adapted to the type of surgery and stage of healing. Your rehabilitation programme may progress from restoring movement and reducing swelling to rebuilding strength, improving balance and function, and eventually returning to normal activities, exercise or sport.
Our aim is to guide you through each stage of rehabilitation safely and progressively.
Neurological physiotherapy and rehabilitation in Hillcrest
Neurological conditions can affect movement, balance, coordination, strength and independence.
At One Sport & Wellness, our physiotherapists use targeted exercise and functional rehabilitation to help patients improve movement and participate more confidently in their daily activities.
We provide rehabilitation for conditions including:
- Stroke
- Parkinson’s disease
- Vertigo
- Balance disorders
- Coordination problems
- Post-concussion symptoms
- Other neurological movement and functional difficulties
Treatment is focused on the individual rather than simply the diagnosis. We work towards practical goals that are meaningful to each patient, whether that means improving walking, balance, strength, confidence or independence with everyday activities.

A personalised approach to physiotherapy
At One Sport & Wellness, we recognise that no two injuries — and no two patients — are exactly the same.
Two people can have the same diagnosis but completely different symptoms, lifestyles, physical demands and goals. That’s why we take the time to understand what you need to return to doing.
For one patient, success might mean walking comfortably again.
For another, it might mean returning to the gym.
For an athlete, it could mean getting back onto the sports field after an injury.
For someone recovering from surgery, it might mean regaining enough strength and mobility to return to normal daily life.
Our physiotherapy treatment is therefore built around your goals, rather than simply treating a diagnosis.
