Sports medicine

Sports medicine at lifedynamic is a service for all athletes, including enthusiastic amateur athletes.

By using the principles used to treat elite competitive athletes amateur sports men and women can return to their sport or exercise as soon as possible. The key is early and accurate diagnosis.

More than 90% of sports injuries are treated without the need for surgery.

A detailed assessment to find the underlying cause of the injury is essential. This is particularly important for recurrent injuries where the cause of the injury is not at the site of the symptoms but is elsewhere in the kinetic chain.

Common underlying causes include:
  • Abnormal alignment
  • Muscle imbalance
  • Incorrect training intensity / volume
  • Incorrect / unsuitable equipment
  • Incorrect footwear
