Sports Medicine

Sports medicine is concerned with physical fitness and the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of injuries and illnesses associated with sport or exercise activities. People of all ages and levels of fitness, including top athletes and sports people may may benefit from seeing a sports doctor at some time.

We have specialised experience in sports medicine and provide an expert and team approach.

Often Sports medicine requires referrals to other specialists to help with diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

The causes of injury and illness in sport can be multi-factorial and include physiological, environmental, psychological and emotional factors.

All general practitioners have an interest and some training in physical wellbeing, fitness and injuries.
