Frequently Asked Questions
The FAQs below will answer many of any questions you may have but please do feel free to contact us with any other questions you may have. We'll be happy to advise you without obligation to use our sports therapy services.How qualified is my Sports Therapist?
A sports therapist is a qualified health practitioner working with patients from the general public to within the sports field. Every sports therapist has undergone extensive training through a minimum of a 3 year BSc (Hons) degree and/or a 1 to 2 year Masters (Msc) degree pathway in order to become fully qualified. During the degree pathway, sport therapists undertake a minimum of a year’s intensive clinical placement.
Once qualified, sport therapists must undertake continual professional development every year by attending courses in order to maintain high clinical proficiency, stay up to date with the latest research and to remain an accredited health practitioner. All sport therapists are accredited and validated by the Society of Sports Therapists.
Will my spinal rehabilitation hurt?
Our highly qualified sports therapists work within a pain free range during remedial exercise therefore in most cases there will be no pain associated within the treatments. However a patient may experience muscle soreness, a common but safe post exercise outcome.
Each patients treatment begins at an appropriate level in terms of the irritability, severity and type of spinal disorder, unique to the individually. The sports therapist will progress each spinal exercise safely in accordance to the patient’s success and ability, with no detrimental effect or relapse to the current treatment disorder.
How many treatments will I require?
Each treatment will be formulated dependent on each individual case and the progress of the patient in regards to their condition and the underlying factors which contributed to the injury. Treatment number will be dependent on the success which includes accurate execution of the spinal or rehabiliatve exercises prescribed and the patients compliance to perform their rehabilitation outside the clinic. Full functional fitness will be attained in the most appropriate, efficient, safest and shortest time possible.
Testimonials
I have been seeing Franco for Sports Therapy at the Hampstead Chiropractic Clinic on a weekly or monthly basis over the last year. I had been suffering from chronic neck, hip and shoulder problems. Franco designed a rehabilitation programme for me which took account not only of my injuries, but also the fact that I was looking to achieve a high level of fitness both for specific sports and all-round health. It was particularly helpful that he was able to design this programme in conjunction with Dr van Dyk, my chiropractor. Although I have had gym and sports-based coaching for many years, Franco quickly identified certain muscular and postural imbalances which I was not aware of. He helped me to correct these with a series of exercises which he designed specifically for me. Franco varied the programme regularly so as to prevent me coasting, plateauing out or getting bored. As my muscles strengthened, the programme became more focussed on increasing strength/fitness rather than rehabilitation. He is clearly very knowledgeable in this field and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to someone looking to recover from an injury, manage a chronic condition, train for a sport or just improve their all-round fitness.
