What is Sports Physiotherapy?

Sports Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy focused on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries related to sports and exercise. It goes beyond standard injury care by analyzing how the body moves during specific sports and understanding the unique physical demands of athletic activity.

At PhysioWelt, our goal is not just to treat the injury, but to find and fix the root cause. This often involves correcting movement patterns, adjusting Load Management to prevent overtraining, and identifying muscular imbalances.

A core component of our approach is Active Rehabilitation, which uses targeted exercises and functional movements to restore physical performance.
