Sports Injury Physiotherapy in Coquitlam

Movement-focused physiotherapy to help athletes and active people recover from injury and return to sport with confidence.

What Sports Injury Physiotherapy Treats

Sports injury physiotherapy addresses the sprains, strains, and overuse injuries that come from training, competition, and repetitive movement. This includes ankle sprains, ACL and other knee injuries, shoulder impingement from overhead sports, tendonitis, and the hip and low back tightness that shows up after running, team sports, or intense training blocks.

The goal isn’t just to reduce pain. It’s to identify and correct the movement pattern behind the injury, so you can return to your sport with less risk of it happening again.

How We Approach Sports Injury Physiotherapy at Core Kinesis

Our physiotherapy team treats sports injuries using a movement-based approach grounded in the Performance Pyramid: addressing pain first, then rebuilding strength and movement patterns for the long term. Our physiotherapists bring dedicated experience in orthopaedic and sports-related rehab, with a focus on injury prevention and safe return-to-sport planning.

For patients working toward a specific sport or performance goal, our kinesiologists provide sport-specific active rehab and training to bridge the gap between physiotherapy and getting back to full performance.

• Movement assessment to identify the mechanics behind the injury, not just the symptom
• Manual therapy and targeted exercise to restore strength and mobility
• Sport-specific active rehab to prepare you for return to training and competition

What to Expect From Your First Session

Assessment: Your physiotherapist evaluates your injury, your sport or training routine, and the movement patterns behind the problem.

Treatment: You receive a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercise, and movement retraining based on what your injury and sport demand.

Return to sport: Your plan includes clear guidance on what to modify in the meantime, education on your injury and recovery, and a timeline for returning to training and competition.

Outcomes Patients Experience

• Faster, safer return to sport: with a plan built around your specific injury and sport, most patients get back to training and competition sooner than an open-ended rest and wait approach allows.
• Lower risk of re-injury: correcting the movement pattern behind the injury, not just easing the pain, means the same mechanics are less likely to cause a repeat injury once you’re back in action.
• Improved strength and mobility for your sport: your program is built around the specific demands of your activity, whether that’s pickleball, running, or team sports, so you’re stronger where it actually matters for what you do.
