Hockey Injury? Get Expert Treatment Fast
From hamstring strains to lower back pain, field hockey puts unique demands on your body. Get specialist physio to recover and prevent re-injury.
Field hockey combines running, stick handling, and a sustained bent-over posture that places significant stress on the lower back, hamstrings, and hips. The combination of sprinting, sudden stops, and rotational movements also puts the knees and ankles at risk. Proper physiotherapy addresses the specific movement demands of hockey.
The bent-over posture of hockey makes players particularly susceptible to back injuries that can become chronic if ignored. Hamstring strains have a high recurrence rate without proper rehabilitation. Acting early saves you weeks of missed games.
A physiotherapist will address the specific postures and movements of hockey, targeting the areas most vulnerable to injury.
