Cricket Injury? Get Expert Physio Today
Bowling shoulder, lower back stress, or hamstring strain? Get specialist treatment that understands the demands of cricket.
Cricket involves a unique combination of explosive bowling, sustained batting, and reactive fielding. The repetitive rotational forces of bowling place enormous stress on the shoulder and lower back, while fielding demands explosive sprinting and throwing. Amateur cricketers, who may not have the conditioning of professionals, are particularly vulnerable.
Cricket injuries, particularly in bowlers, can become career-threatening if ignored. A stress reaction in the lower back can progress to a stress fracture. A shoulder that's losing pace is often compensating for an underlying problem. Early assessment prevents escalation.
Cricket-specific physiotherapy addresses the unique demands of each playing role — whether you're a fast bowler, batsman, or all-rounder.
