Specialised care for hockey-specific injuries

Both Dan and Sophie have a deep understanding of the specific injuries that plague hockey players. These often include:

Hip and groin injuries: Hockey players frequently suffer from issues such as hip joint changes, adductor strains, hamstring injuries due to the high speed nature of the game and the constant twisting and turning.

Lower back pain: The posture and physical demands of the game can contribute to lumbar spine issues over time.

Knee injuries: Meniscal tears, ACL injuries and patellofemoral pain syndrome are common due to the quick, sharp movements required on the field.

With their backgrounds in hockey, Dan and Sophie are adept at tailoring treatment plans that align with the specific requirements of the sport. Their understanding of the biomechanics of hockey enables them to design recovery protocols that ensure athletes are not only pain-free but also capable of returning to play stronger and more resilient than before.

“We focus on functional recovery,” explains Dan. “That means understanding how a player moves on the field, what muscles they rely on the most, and what movements might put them at risk. Our goal is to ensure that when they return to play, they’re not just healed but also better prepared to prevent future injuries.”

Sophie adds, “It’s not just about physical recovery either. Hockey players, especially young elite athletes, often struggle with the mental side of injuries. Being sidelined can be tough, but we work hard to keep them engaged in the process and positive about their” recovery.
