Women in Sport at Raynes Park Physio

At Raynes Park Physio, we offer specialised services tailored for women in sports. Our expertise lies in assessing, treating, and rehabilitating various sports injuries among female athletes. We particularly focus on athletic pregnancies and helping women return to sports and exercise postnatally. Our team comprises specialists in women’s health, pelvic health, musculoskeletal, and sports physiotherapists who collaborate to create personalised rehabilitation programs for our clients.

Female Athlete Health

Our clinic has a special interest in the health of female athletes. We have considerable experience in assessing and rehabilitating sports injuries within this population. We specialise in athletic pregnancies and postnatal recovery, drawing upon the extensive experience of our team to provide tailored rehabilitation programs. Our treatments cater to females from young teenagers to older adults, recognizing that women’s physiology differs significantly from men’s. Historically, women in sports medicine have been treated similarly to men, but we use our expertise to develop rehabilitation programs tailored to the unique needs of female athletes. This includes cycle tracking to optimise training at different times of the menstrual cycle.

Pregnancy and Exercise

Emerging evidence supports the positive effects of physical exercise during pregnancy. We design specific exercise programs for pregnant athletes to minimise deconditioning and prepare them for childbirth. These individualised programs are suitable from conception through to delivery, tailored to meet the athlete’s goals. Post-pregnancy, we offer a comprehensive range of postnatal services.

Hypermobility

Hypermobility, often first seen in teenage girls, can significantly benefit from physiotherapy. After a thorough assessment, we create bespoke exercise programs targeting key muscles. These programs typically combine stability, endurance, proprioceptive, and strengthening exercises. We also offer clinical Pilates classes, which can be beneficial for individuals with hypermobility.

Energy Deficiency Syndromes

Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-s) occurs when there is a mismatch between energy expenditure and intake. This condition is prevalent among female athletes. We work with Sports and Exercise Medicine Consultants to rehabilitate athletes suffering from RED-s. The treatment usually involves a period of rest, conditioning unaffected areas, followed by a gradual return to loading under the guidance of our specialised female health and sports physiotherapists.

ACL Injury Prevention

Our ACL injury prevention programs are designed to reduce the risk of ACL injuries among female athletes. Currently, there is a high incidence of ACL injuries in young female athletes, attributed to various factors such as hormones, muscular control systems, biomechanical differences, and sports equipment design. We utilise the latest research to create individualised ACL injury prevention programs for athletic females.

Menopause and Exercise

Menopause brings various physiological changes that can impact musculoskeletal health. We take a comprehensive medical history to consider the range of factors influencing health during menopause. Our menopause-specific rehabilitation programs include resistance training to optimise bone health.

"Nick helped me after I started experiencing pain in my hip/leg from weightlifting. He not only identified and guided me through fixing the problem, but has also given me a great deal of valuable advice for my training. Very happy with the results, would definitely recommend."

This is probably the best physio practice I've been to. I've been to other 'professional' physios that provide treatment for the sake of appearing to do something. The first session is generally a consultation to examine the issues. The ongoing advice and treatment is fantastic."
