Sports and dance injuries often involve muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, fascia and movement control. Minor injuries may include muscle strains, joint sprains, tendon irritation, ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, neck or back pain, overload injuries, reduced flexibility, poor recovery after training, or recurrent pain with specific movements.
Dancers and athletes often need more than generic pain relief. They need accurate assessment of movement quality, flexibility, strength, control, asymmetry, joint loading and technique-related stress.
Assessment and treatment
At Sayer Clinics, treatment begins with a full history and examination, including how the injury occurred, what movements aggravate it, training load, previous injuries and relevant spinal, pelvic or limb mechanics.
Treatment may include chiropractic mobilisation, soft-tissue therapy, sports massage, joint work, muscle release, rehabilitation exercises, taping or support advice, training modification and return-to-sport planning.
The aim is to reduce pain, restore movement, improve tissue tolerance and help patients return safely to sport, dance, gym training or performance.
Your first consultation includes a full medical history, clinical examination, diagnosis, consented digital X-ray where clinically indicated, first treatment session and clear aftercare advice. Treatment is always adapted to your condition, examination findings, medical history and comfort level. Where symptoms suggest a condition requiring medical investigation, we will advise appropriate referral.
