About Sport Medicine

Sports medicine is one of the most exciting interdisciplinary sub-specialties of medicine specifically dealing with the active population.

We see and treat the most spectrum of the active population to include elite athletes, teams, urban athletes such as gym users or people getting fit.. As a team we also work closely with coaches, teams and sporting bodies offering performance testing and injury prevention screening.

What happens at the appointment?

The sports medicine specialist is often the patient’s first point of contact.

1. At initial assessment we look at the patient's entire health history to help determine the cause of the problem. This provides direction for subsequent treatment plans
2. The injury or illness will be assessed and diagnosed and if the patient is in pain this will be managed
3. A treatment plan will then begin which focuses on management of the medical problem or commencement of injury rehabilitation. If surgery is absolutely required, planning for this will also begin

We diagnose the injury and identify its cause at the first consultation on most of our patients.
