What does Physiotherapy for Crossfitters Involve?
Depending on your complaint your physiotherapy session may involve the following:
- Thorough biomechanical assessment of your problem movement patterns looking for weakness, asymmetry, mobility loss and old injuries.
- Hands on manual therapy for immediate symptom relief and restoration of mobility. Dynamic tape may sometimes be used to help you get moving again.
- Diagnosis and management guidelines for actue and chronic injury. This may involve sending you for further tests such as xrays/ultrasound scans or a referral to a medical practioner when necessary.
- A personalized rehabilitation program to follow designed and progressed in communication with yourself and with your referring trainer.
- Education on how your body works, what you did to cause your injury/pain and how to prevent further reoccurrences. We will teach you how to monitor your body with specific testing, help you with stretch, release/rolling regimes and how to pick up muscle imbalance before they lead to injury.
It is our goal to keep you training – with modifications if required, or returned to training in the shortest time possible.

Communication with your Trainer/s
We have developed working relationships with crossfit trainers (particularly at Crossfit Brisbane) that are built on mutual respect, cooperation and good communication to ensure we get the best result possible for the crossfit athlete.
Although no referral is needed to attend our Physiotherapy clinic we encourage you to get your trainer to write a referral to us to ensure you get a coordinated approach to your rehabilitation. We will then directly liaise with your trainer and work together to help you.
