Personalised Injury Assessments in Bendigo

Our Injury Assessment Process

Welcome to Return To Performance Physiotherapy, where we prioritise your unique journey to recovery through personalised and advanced injury assessments. We offer our injury assessments and other physiotherapy services at our Bendigo centre.

What to Expect During Your Injury Assessment:

Individualised Approach:

At Return To Performance, we understand that every injury is distinct. Our assessments are personalised based on the location of the injury and your individual characteristics. This ensures that your rehabilitation plan is tailored precisely to your unique needs.

Cutting-Edge Technology Integration:

We go beyond traditional assessments by incorporating advanced technology. Our use of force plates provides objective measurements, the Diameter offers a digital readout of strengths, and video analysis captures details of your movements (running, squatting, deadlifting, etc.). This technology-driven approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of your injury.

No Referral Needed:

Your journey with us begins when you need it. No referral is required; you can come straight in with your injury concerns.

Discussion Regarding Lifestyle & Injury:

We start the process with a detailed discussion about your lifestyle and the specifics of your injury. This initial dialogue sets the stage for a thorough and personalised assessment, ensuring we understand the nuances of your situation.

Sports Injury Priority:

As a sports injury clinic, we recognise the urgency of weekend injuries. We prioritise Monday bookings for those who may have incurred injuries over the weekend during sports activities. This ensures you receive prompt attention and efficient rehabilitation planning.

If you'd like to request an injury assessment, or enquire about our sport injury remediation services, don't hesitate to contact us today. You can call us on (03) 5448 5556.

Mitigate the Risk of Muscle Injuries

The following are just a few ways you can reduce the risk of muscle injuries when taking part in sport or exercise activities:

Warm-up routine: Engage in a thorough warm-up before physical activity to prepare your muscles for the increased demand. Dynamic stretches and light aerobic exercises can help increase blood flow and flexibility, reducing the risk of muscle injuries.
Proper technique: Use correct form and technique during exercise or physical activities. Poor form can lead to overloading specific muscles or joints, increasing the likelihood of strains or injuries. Seek guidance from a qualified trainer if needed.
Progressive training: Gradually increase the intensity, duration, or resistance of your workouts. Sudden, drastic changes in training can strain muscles and increase the risk of injuries. Progression should be gradual to allow your body to adapt.
Rest & recovery: Ensure adequate rest between workout sessions to allow muscles to recover. Overtraining can lead to fatigue and compromised muscle function, making them more susceptible to injuries. Listen to your body and incorporate rest days into your routine.
Hydration & nutrition: Stay properly hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in essential nutrients. Dehydration can impair muscle function and increase the risk of cramps and injuries. Proper nutrition supports muscle health, helping them withstand physical stress and recover effectively.
