Whether you're training for a marathon, mastering deadlifts, or simply staying active — injuries can derail your goals. But here’s the good news: most injuries are preventable.
Physiotherapy helps fitness lovers stay active, mobile, and pain-free — not just recover but perform better.
Common Injuries Among Active Adults
Knee strain from poor squatting technique
Lower back pain from lifting with poor form
Shoulder impingement from repetitive overhead workouts
Tendonitis in elbows or ankles
These injuries often build up over time from improper form, muscle imbalances, or neglecting recovery.
Where Physiotherapy Comes In

At Physio@Heart, we don’t just treat pain — we help you understand your body. Here’s how:
1. Technique Review
Many patients realise they’ve been moving “wrong” for years. A detailed assessment helps spot and fix technique flaws before they cause harm.
2. Mobility & Stability Work
Tight hips? Weak core? Lack of ankle mobility? Small tweaks here can transform how your body moves under stress.
3. Muscle Balance Correction
Strength imbalances (e.g. stronger quads than glutes) are often the silent culprits behind pain or injury.
4. Injury Prevention Education
Learn how to warm up properly, recover smart, and spot early signs of overtraining.
