injury-rehabilitation wisdom and trouble-shooting for the elite athlete
Through the understanding of the sportsmans psychology, needs, aspirations, goals, timeframes and pressures of being a sports person, Graham buttresses this together with his experience of dealing with coach, family and allied trainer/therapists. And with his wide ranging knowledge of tissue healing, rehabilitation, sport specificity recovery and excellent specific quality strength & conditioning knowledge, the athlete is offered a full package route to recovery quickly rather than flounder on a slow recovering injury.
In a busy club setting often many injuries continue as the busy team physio often doesn’t have enough time to get on top of all the situations. Graham has on many an occasions re assessed, redirected and re motivated the prolonged & injured athlete.
Post operatively, often patients get set in their ways with their rehab therapist. A fresh relook with a dynamic rehabilitation specialist like Graham often rekindles the motivation to recover following long term treatment programmes. Graham is aware no two injuries with the same name are at all similar. Consequently, all injuries should be approached and treated in a bespoke manner.
Quality of rehabilitation rather then the amount of rehabilitation is paramount. Getting the recover steps in the right order is often compromised in order to return to sport. Again Graham is specialist in maintaining fitness and goals appropriate whilst not missing out important rehabilitation steps and ensuring return to play is not at 80-100% fitness but way more than 100% than that at the time of original injury.
