At The Physio Movement (TPM) in Townsville, our sports physiotherapists work with athletes of every level, from weekend warriors to elite professionals, to help them recover faster, prevent injuries, and reach their peak performance.
We believe sports physiotherapy should be more than just treatment after an injury. It’s about understanding your sport, your body, and your goals, then tailoring a program that keeps you performing at your best.
What is sports physiotherapy?
Sports physiotherapy is a specialised area of physiotherapy focusing on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries. It combines:
Hands-on therapy to reduce pain and restore movement
Exercise prescription to rebuild strength and mobility
Biomechanical analysis to identify movement patterns that cause injury
Performance optimisation to improve speed, agility, and endurance
At TPM, our sports physios are trained to work with athletes from football, netball, running, swimming, cycling, triathlon, CrossFit, and more.
