Sports Physiotherapy
Do you play sport, as an amateur or competitively? We support you at every stage: injury prevention, treatment after a sprain, tendinitis or muscle tear, then a gradual return to your sport. Knee, ankle or shoulder pain, or a more complex injury (ACL rupture, meniscus tear): our specialised physiotherapists put together a rehabilitation programme tailored to your sport and your level, for a safe return with a reduced risk of re-injury.
What is Sports Physiotherapy?
Whether you are an amateur athlete or a top-level competitor, injuries and muscle pain can affect your performance and hold back your progress. Sports physiotherapy supports athletes — amateurs and competitors alike — at every stage: injury prevention, treatment after a sprain, tendinitis or muscle tear, and a gradual return to sport. Whether you have knee, ankle or shoulder pain or a more complex injury (ACL rupture, meniscus tear), our specialised physiotherapists design a functional rehabilitation programme tailored to your sport and your level. The goal: a safe return with a reduced risk of re-injury.
When is Sports Physiotherapy recommended?
With a targeted approach, sports physiotherapy helps improve recovery, optimise physical condition and reduce the risk of re-injury, for a safe return to activity.
Which problems and conditions are treated?
The Problems
Sports physiotherapy treats injuries and pain related to physical activity, including:
- Tendinopathies: Achilles tendinitis, tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), rotator cuff syndrome.
- Sprains and muscle tears: ankle, knee, hamstrings, quadriceps.
- Stress fractures and overload-related pain (shin splints, patellofemoral pain syndrome).
- Joint instability and ligament laxity (knee, ankle, shoulder).
- Post-operative recovery after ligament or meniscus surgery (anterior cruciate ligament, meniscectomy).
- Prevention and rehabilitation of injuries caused by intensive or poorly balanced training.
How does the treatment work?
The Treatment
Every athlete receives a detailed assessment that takes into account their sport, level and goals. Treatment includes:
- Manual therapy and joint mobilisation to restore flexibility and ease tension.
- Targeted muscle strengthening to correct imbalances and improve joint stability.
- Functional rehabilitation and proprioception to regain optimal control of movement.
- Recovery techniques (massage, stretching, drainage) to limit muscle soreness and optimise muscle regeneration.
- Sports movement analysis and personalised advice to improve posture and prevent recurrences.
Why is it important to get treatment?
A poorly treated injury can lead to chronic pain, muscle compensation and reduced performance. Early, appropriate treatment helps you recover faster, avoid setbacks and optimise your sporting technique.
For your sessions to be covered by your health or accident insurance, a medical prescription is required. If you have persistent pain or want to prevent injuries, talk to your doctor or your coach to find out whether physiotherapy is recommended.

Great team! Thank you for looking after my 91-year-old mum. Since your care, she gets around indoors without her canes and does the exercises she learned every day. Thank you.

Do I need a prescription?
Yes. For your sessions to be covered by your health or accident insurance, you need a medical prescription.
Does my insurance cover the sessions?
Illness: basic health insurance (LAMal). Accident: accident insurance (LAA). In some cases: disability insurance (LAI) or military insurance (LAM).
Do you offer home visits?
