Sport Medicine

The goal of the performance focused physiotherapy team is to provide the best environment in which to optimize physical potential to achieve results.

The East of Scotland Institute of Sport utilises a network of first class Physiotherapists within the region with a vast experience of working in High Performance Sport. We aim to provide a fast and efficient response following injury and manage the process towards optimal recovery. As physiotherapists we also work closely with the team of support services to ensure an integrated approach to injury recovery.

High performance athletes have to cope with the demands of intensive daily training in preparation for the rigors of competition. In order to train and compete at the very highest level, and in the absence of injury, an athlete needs guidance on how best to prepare. A vehicle towards this is the Athlete Profile where the athletes physical needs are assessed in relation to the specific demands of their sport. Addressing issues highlighted in the profile can assist in optimising performance and helping to prevent injury.
