Our physiotherapists are actively involved in local sporting clubs and fitness communities, giving us hands-on experience with the physical demands of training, match play, and recovery. This allows us to deliver practical, sport-relevant treatment focused on getting you back to performance safely and confidently.

Soccer Physiotherapy - Forster & Tuncurry

Soccer places repeated stress on the lower body through sprinting, cutting, kicking, and change of direction. Our physios understand the demands of training loads, match congestion, and seasonal play.

We commonly treat:

• Hamstring and calf strains

• Ankle sprains and instability

• Knee injuries, including ligament and meniscus issues

• Hip and groin pain

• Overuse injuries from training and competition schedules

Treatment is tailored to help players return to training and matches while reducing re-injury risk.

Netball Physiotherapy

Netball involves frequent jumping, landing, and rapid changes of direction, placing high load on the knees, ankles, hips, and lower back.

At Great Lakes Physio, we regularly help netballers with:

• ACL and knee injuries

• Ankle sprains and chronic instability

• Achilles and calf strains

• Lower back and hip pain

• In-season injury management and return-to-play planning

Our rehab programs are designed to match the specific demands of netball training and competition.

Rugby is a high-impact, physically demanding sport requiring strength, resilience, and effective recovery.

We commonly treat rugby players for:

• Shoulder injuries from tackling and contact

• Knee and ankle injuries

• Hamstring, quad, and calf strains
