Sports Physiotherapy Services
Injuries don’t just slow you down — they can keep you from doing the things you love. Whether you’re aiming to get back to sport, improve performance or prevent future injuries, sports physiotherapy can help.
At Barolin Physiotherapy Services, our experienced team (led by Senior Physiotherapist Keith, who holds a Master’s in Sports Physiotherapy) uses a mix of hands-on treatment, tailored exercise programs and education to support athletes at all levels — from first-time gym-goers to elite competitors.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
- Shin splints – pain along the shinbone, often from overuse or footwear issues
- Stress fractures – tiny bone cracks from repetitive force
- ACL injuries – common in pivoting and stop-start sports
- Tennis & golf elbow – tendinitis from repetitive movements
- Tendon injuries – including Achilles and patella tendinitis
- Joint sprains – ankle, knee, shoulder, finger and more
- Muscle strains – hamstring, quad, calf and bicep tears

Kids in Sport
Young athletes have unique needs as their bodies grow and develop. Injuries shouldn’t be brushed off as just “growing pains.” Keith has a special interest in youth sports physiotherapy, helping kids and teens recover safely, build resilience and continue enjoying the sports they love.

Pre-Pointe Assessments
At Barolin Physiotherapy Services, we understand the unique demands of ballet and the importance of a safe and successful transition to pointe work. Our pre-pointe assessments are designed to evaluate a dancer's readiness to commence training en pointe.
During the initial pre-pointe assessment, our therapists take the time to get to know you and your journey. We delve into your training history, previous injuries, as well as conduct measurements to assess pointe range, calf length and more. We also evaluate intrinsic foot and calf strength, pelvic/core control and overall ballet technique.
The goal of this assessment is to help you prepare for future success while minimising the risk of injury. Understanding your body and addressing any weaknesses before beginning pointe work can lead to a safer and more enjoyable pointe training experience. Let us be a part of your journey towards the perfect en pointe performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a sports physiotherapist?
A sports physiotherapist has undertaken the same training as a general physiotherapist, with the addition of specialised theoretical study and practical training in injuries and conditions related to athletes and sports.
How do you prevent back pain?
As back pain can be caused by everything from an accident to heavy lifting, it’s difficult to give a blanket answer for all cases. An appointment with a physiotherapist can help you learn how to prevent back pain as well as treat current symptoms if they’re present.
How soon should I start physiotherapy after an injury?
The timing for starting physiotherapy depends on the severity and type of injury. Immediate care usually involves rest, ice and elevation. A healthcare provider can offer guidance on when to start physiotherapy for optimal recovery.
