Sports therapy involves the treatment and prevention of injuries and the rehabilitation of people injured in sport. Ruth can help patients return to full functional fitness, regardless of their age and/or ability.

When an injury occurs, an accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential to achieve a good recovery and aid in an early return to sport. An untreated or poorly rehabilitated injury can develop into a chronic injury and can be detrimental to the sport.

As a sports therapist, Ruth’s main aim is to rehabilitate the injury as quickly and as safely as possible, to return the individual to functional sporting activity. Ruth also carries out a lot of injury prevention work including improving posture, flexibility and balance between opposing muscle groups.
