Soccer

Soccer is fast, skillful and physically demanding. Pushing your body to the limit match after match makes injuries an unfortunate reality.

That nagging groin strain, recurring knee pain or hamstring tweak can take you off the field when your team needs you most.

But you don’t have to miss a game due to injury. Our expert soccer physiotherapists can get you back on the pitch safely.

At Bounty Physio, our soccer physiotherapists take a holistic approach to assess, treat and prevent soccer injuries.

We begin with a comprehensive physical evaluation to identify factors contributing to your injury. This includes:

• Postural, balance and movement analysis
• Flexibility, strength and control testing of your core, hips and limbs
• Review of your training load, recovery practices and equipment used
• Analysis of positional movement demands and technique

Using these findings, we create a tailored rehab program including:

• Hands-on techniques like massage, mobilisations to optimise joint and tissue mobility
• Targeted stretching and release work to alleviate muscle tightness
• Strength and conditioning plans for your core, hips and lower limbs
• Soccer-specific agility, acceleration/deceleration and conditioning exercises
• Gradual return to skills work, contact and match play
• Ongoing adjustments to prevent re-injury and enhance performance

We can also collaborate with your coaching staff where required, for optimal integration with your skill development and tactical training.

Some frequent soccer injuries we successfully rehabilitate include:

• Groin strains – Powerful kicking, changing direction, and twisting strain the groin and adductors. Multi-faceted recovery addresses strength, range of motion and control.
• Hamstring strains – Sprinting and high-speed dribbling uses explosive hamstring contraction. Treatment focuses on regaining strength, power and resilience.
• Calf strains – Pushing off at pace strains calf muscles. Physio treatment aims to restore elasticity, reactive ability, and strength.
• Ankle sprains – Rolling the ankle when changing direction or landing awkwardly is common. Physio aims to rebalance and strengthen the ankle joint.
• Knee injuries – Twisting, pivoting and contact loads the knees. Physiotherapy aims to improve tracking, glide and strength of the kneecap and soft tissues.
• Lower back – Repeated flexion when receiving passes, shooting and dribbling jars the back. Core strength, movement control and tissue release provides relief.
