Faster Recovery, Better Results
Sports injuries need more than rest. Every injury has a root cause — a movement dysfunction, muscle imbalance or biomechanical pattern that created the vulnerability in the first place. Treating only the symptom means the same injury keeps coming back.
We combine chiropractic treatment, physiotherapy assessment, dry needling and structured rehabilitation to address both the injury and the underlying cause — so you return to sport stronger, not just recovered.

The Three Phases of Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Returning to sport too quickly is the primary cause of re-injury. Returning too slowly costs you fitness, confidence and performance. A phase-based approach gives you a clinically grounded framework for progressing at exactly the right pace.
Acute (0–72 hours)
Control inflammation and protect the injured structure. PEACE & LOVE protocol. Accurate diagnosis — imaging referral where indicated. Pain management and load modification guidance.
Sub-Acute (3 days–6 weeks)
Restore range of motion, begin progressive loading and address contributing movement dysfunctions. Manual therapy, mobilisation, neurodynamics and early exercise rehabilitation.
Remodelling (6 weeks+)
Sport-specific strength and movement quality. Return-to-play testing. Injury prevention programme and load management strategy to reduce recurrence risk long-term.
Sports Injury Care for Active Londoners in EC1
The Old Street and Clerkenwell area has one of the highest concentrations of gyms, fitness studios and running clubs in London — from the CrossFit boxes near Silicon Roundabout to the run clubs that depart from Barbican station and the yoga studios lining Clerkenwell Road. We treat the athletes who train in and around EC1, and we understand the training demands, sport-specific injury patterns and mentality of people who cannot simply "rest for six weeks."
Our clinic at 193 Whitecross Street is a 5-minute walk from Barbican tube and 7 minutes from Old Street — which means you can be assessed the same day an injury happens, rather than waiting a week for a GP referral and another four weeks for an NHS physio appointment. For acute sports injuries, speed of diagnosis and early treatment significantly improves recovery trajectory.
We also work with local athletes on maintenance programmes — regular treatment (every 3–6 weeks) to identify and address emerging dysfunctions before they become injuries. Call 07903 579600 to book a sports injury assessment.
