Sports Physio in East Kilbride
Whether it’s football, swimming, running, golf or dancing you take part in at a high level, here at NK Physio we take sport just as seriously as you do. We know that to perform at your best at those levels your body has to be ready to handle the greater demands you put on it. But even for top performers the stresses placed on our bodies can stop us in our tracks.
This could cause you to miss an event you’ve been training hard for. Or fail to finish it. For those who aim to be the best, that’s a frustrating scenario. All that training only to be stopped by an ache or strain that you just can’t get past.
or call us on 07854 051066
That’s why we are proud to offer elite athletes and anyone performing sport at a high level a programme to help you meet those demands. We’ve built a package that will help you recover from injury faster and come back stronger.
And it’s not just for injured sportspeople – if you are looking to move up to the next level then we can help with that too.
So if injury strikes or a nagging strain when training is stopping you from being the best or you simply want to take your sporting performance to new heights, get in touch and we’ll provide you with high quality, high level dedicated support and treatments that match your needs.
Treatment Overview
Under our Elite Sports Physio programme, you’ll work directly with a dedicated sports physiotherapist. And through them, everything you need to get back to or reach the highest level of performance is under one roof at NK Physio.
- Physiotherapy
- Sports Therapy
- VALD
- Sports Massage
- Strength and Conditioning
- Wellbeing
- Onward referral
You’ll be working with our senior physiotherapist Kate who has a BSc in Sports Science and Education, a BSc in Physiotherapy, and an MSc in Sports Physiotherapy – the right qualifications to deal with the high levels of insight and treatment required of this elite service. We match your best with ours.
If you’ve got an injury we’ll identify the root cause and tailor a recovery programme to get you back to your top level. But if it’s performance improvement you’re after we’ll work with you to see where your current level is and help you take it up to new heights.
Physiotherapy
Following your initial assessment you’ll have access to our full range of physiotherapy treatments which include exclusive ones only available through NK Physio in South Lanarkshire such as focused shockwave therapy. You’ll be taken through the best ones to either aid your recovery or help lift your levels.
Sports Therapy
For elite sportspeople it’s not only about treating injuries, it’s about how to stop them happening again so you can push yourself as hard as you can with confidence. Having belief in yourself from a mental and physical perspective is essential to high level performers and we can help ensure you have both.
So in addition to traditional physio, our Sports Therapy programme offers an enhanced level of treatment to identify, assess and treat sports injuries. We’ll help you recover quicker, identify the best ways to avoid further injuries and maximise performance.
VALD
Everything we do is backed by data. It’s the key to not only unlocking elite performance but it can play a major role in your recovery. VALD is used around the world by high level, high performance organisations. It’s valued in many sports and you’ll find it in use at over 200 football clubs at the top level in Europe where it helps those teams and their players achieve and maintain the highest levels.
As an elite sportsperson you need everything and everyone around you to be the best. That’s why we use the VALD testing system for ensuring reaching targets throughout your recovery process.
So what is VALD?
If you’ve not encountered it before, VALD is muscle strength testing. It uses a handheld dynamometer and force decks system. Testing provides an array of data that looks at elements such as strength, movement and balance.
If there’s a critical measurement that impacts performance VALD will give us data on it and we use that data to inform how your programme is set up, allowing us to provide targeted treatment on injuries and identify the best route to recovery as well as reducing the chance of future injuries. And it can also help focus on areas that will help improve performance.
Sports Massage
Sports massage plays a huge part in helping the bodies of elite sportspeople perform at the highest level. It’s more than just a massage – it improves circulation, reduces muscle tension (which can help with muscle fatigue) and increases flexibility. All key elements no matter your sport.
As part of the Elite Sports Physio programme you’ll have sports massage included. We can treat all areas of the body so whether it’s an arm, shoulder, knee, ankle or anything else that’s causing you pain or performance issues we can help it recover and become stronger.
Strength and Conditioning:
As an elite sportsperson you’ll already be aware of the massive importance strength and conditioning plays in your performance. And that’s why with us you’ll be able to focus on these areas with the help and support of our dedicated senior physiotherapist.
Whether it’s injury recovery or improved performance you’re after, we have everything you need to achieve the very best levels of strength and conditioning. As part of the package we’ll assess the right exercises to aid injury recovery, reduce injury risk and improve performance.
And with our on-site gym facilities you can do it all with us during a session which allows us to guide you through the exercises, coach as required and be in your corner pushing you on to give it all you’ve got.
Wellbeing
Your programme will look at all aspects of physical and mental wellbeing – as well as treating injuries we’ll also work with you on mental health support. Performing at the highest levels can have just as big a strain on our minds as our bodies so it’s important the mental side of things is part of your treatment.
Stress and anxiety when taking part in sports can affect us all but for elite performers they can stop you in your tracks just as quickly as a twisted ankle. Burnout can be a serious issue too. And that’s why we place so much value in making sure we cover mental wellbeing.
Not only will we get you to peak physical fitness, we’ll get you to a place where your mental fitness and strength will be just as big a part of achieving your goals.
Onward Referral
If it’s decided you need a scan at a hospital or other outside treatment to help with your recovery then we can help you with the referral process. If it’s necessary to go down those paths then you’ve got our full support to deal with hospitals and consultants. Finding the right way to go at this point can be a bit daunting and we want you to be back at the top level as quickly as possible – by helping with this side of things it’s one more thing you don’t have to worry about
That’s the difference NK Physio and our structured physiotherapy – all carried out by our expert qualified team – can make.
