At Injury Mechanics, we know rehabilitation is a way of relieving pain and regaining control over your active lifestyle. Recovering from an injury can be a challenging process both mentally and physically, which is why we aim to offer a service which improves your daily life.

What is sports injury rehabilitation?

Sports injury rehabilitation is a method of recovering from both minor and major injuries to regain former physical capabilities in a safe and measured way.

Sometimes, rehabilitation means recovering from major injuries to achieve as much range of motion and strength as is safely possible. Other times, rehabilitation might be recovering from a small strain slowly to get active again, without risking making this injury worse.

Sports injury rehabilitation can include:

Myofascial release
Peripheral and spinal joint remobilisation
Massage therapy
Muscle energy techniques

What happens during sports injury rehabilitation?

During a sports therapy and injury rehabilitation appointment, an expert clinician will perform a thorough assessment, as well as a short gait analysis if necessary.

As a result of this assessment, the clinician will determine:

What types of pain and discomforts you are experiencing
What factors make it worse
The length of time you have had your pain.

The clinician will then look at your posture and biomechanics and perform some simple movements and tests, establishing where and when you are restricted and where and when you are in pain.

The therapist will be considering your bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves and fascia, as well as communicating with you to target the correct areas, and ensure you are not in any discomfort during the assessment.

After the assessment, we aim to deliver effective one or multiple of our effective treatment plans, and we may give you a structured strength and conditioning program to complement and speed up your recovery journey.

The benefits of sports injury rehabilitation

Sports injury rehabilitation is a safe and reliable way to get yourself back where you want to be following an injury or strain. Rehabilitation is for everybody; no matter what your problem is, we are here to help.

A major benefit of rehabilitation is faster recovery time from injury. Sports therapy aims to get you back to your physical best as quickly as possible, but also as safely as possible. Our treatment helps you to get moving again, in a way that is comfortable for you.

Another benefit is that sports injury rehabilitation is performed in a way that reduces the risk of aggravating your injury, or reinjury in future. A methodical rehab process eases your joints and ligaments back into activity gradually and safely. Rehabilitation is also a great way to increase range of motion, and even circulation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great consultation with Tommy, he took time to work through my questions and feedback regarding my problem. We trialled some exercises and body movements to understand better why I may be experiencing the issues I am. He advised he would follow up with exercise references for me and a wrap up of our consultation with a referral proposal, all of which came through the same evening!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took the pursuit of running up in October 2021 and I was always reluctant to invest in seeing a physio as I felt that I was 'sensible' enough to look after my physical work load and that I could rely on fellow runners to help keep me grounded. After suffering with multiple 'niggles' that I just ran through and because I was embarking on an Ultra Marathon training plan, I bit the bullet and decided to consult a physio. I didn't want to go to 'any physio', I wanted to make sure that I saw the best that was available to me and after asking a PT I know in the Manchester area, I was recommended to get and see Jonathan Collier at Injury Mechanics.

I booked my first appointment with Jonathan at the end of May and like me he is a long distance runner so is ideal for the sort of advice that I need. Since May I have been back to see Jonathan on a monthly basis, even after completing the Ultra in September. It isn't just about getting checked up and being helped through potential injuries, it's also become a great opportunity to share stories and tips with somebody else who shares the same passion as me.

In the time I have been under Jonathan I've received nothing but top service and support. I've moved an appointment last minute because of childcare issues which was no issue and during some very tricky periods of my training plans I have been messaging him out of hours to get advice and not once has he made me feel like I'm an inconvenience to him. If you're looking for a physio then Jonathan Collier of Injury Mechanics is the only physio you need to consult.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Jonathon for 3 years now after being recommended by a friend with my back pain, I play rounders, run and exercise and as I’m getting older need physio more often. Jonathon makes me feel at ease and it’s like going for a chat for an hour whilst  he works on what I need on that particular visit as it’s different every time!! But he understands and is patient with me great team!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Injury Mechanics. My whole family have been going for years. I recently had a back problem. I phoned Johnathan who sent me exercise to do the same day. He saw me the day after I called and knew what the problem was straight away. Feeling so much better already. Fantastic 😊 thank you, Diane Worrall

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maria and the team literally keep me able to exercise. I have had a number of injuries and Maria not only “mends me” but she also gives me the techniques to ensure they don’t happen again. Incredibly effective and knowledgeable, I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Sports injury treatment plans

We offer a range of sports injury treatment plans designed to cover all bases in terms of injuries and individual needs:

Sports Massage

Usually for general recovery after a particularly straining activity, such as long runs or a football match. This treatment could include a deep tissue massage or cupping therapy to relieve strain and pain.

Acupuncture

Primarily for pain relief, this treatment plan increases circulation and reduces inflammation in targeted areas. Acupuncture can treat a range of issues such as plantar fasciitis or cramps.

Biomechanical Analysis

An assessment which involves a comprehensive evaluation of the pelvis, knees, ankles and feet. Assessing movement patterns, we can analyse how your body performs and establish treatments and practices to help those suffering from pain in any of these areas.

Pilates

A balanced but effective way to strengthen the body, pilates is a great form of therapy for both mind and body which targets weaker muscle groups.

Injection therapy

Injecting corticosteroids or ostenil can provide highly effective pain relief in joints and soft tissues. This treatment is usually provided alongside other methods of rehabilitation to ease the process.

Strength and Conditioning

To train towards a certain goal, strength and conditioning treatment can significantly improve performance and prepare for competition. This program is also ideal for working towards everyday fitness or comfort goals.

Human Physiology

Our exercise physiologists focus on injury prevention/rehabilitation, athletic development and performance and lab based measurements such as lung function or body mass to improve performance.
