What is Injury Assessment and Rehabilitation?

Injury Assessment and Rehabilitation at Sportivo Sports Rehabilitation in Rochdale is a personalised, expert-led service designed to help anyone experiencing pain, injury, or movement limitations. Whether you are an athlete, parent, office worker, or recovering from surgery, we guide you through safe recovery so you can move better, feel stronger, and return to full function with confidence.

Unlike quick fixes, this service goes beyond symptoms. Using the ProSport approach developed by Dave O’Sullivan — trusted by England Rugby and other elite teams — we identify and resolve the true root cause of your problem through one-to-one care. The goal is to help you build a resilient body that performs better in everyday life, work, or sport.

Conditions We Treat:

• Sports injuries: sprains, strains, tendonitis, overuse injuries

• Work-related pain: posture issues, repetitive strain, back and neck discomfort

• Lower back and spinal pain: disc irritation, stiffness, postural imbalance

• Joint pain and dysfunction: knees, hips, shoulders, ankles, wrists

• Chronic pain: arthritis, fibromyalgia, long-term nerve or muscle pain

• Post-surgical recovery: ACL repair, joint replacement, spinal procedures

• Acute injuries: falls, impacts, trauma

• Mobility restrictions: age-related decline, inactivity, old injuries

• Tendon and ligament problems: Achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff tears, plantar fasciitis

• Postural dysfunction: imbalances affecting comfort and movement

Key Components of Our Injury Assessment & Rehabilitation in Rochdale

1. Whole-Body Injury Assessment

We start with a comprehensive full-body assessment to understand not just where you feel pain, but why it’s happening. This includes:

• Movement and posture analysis

• Joint mobility and muscle testing

• Strength and coordination evaluation

• Review of medical history, lifestyle, and training habits

This process allows us to identify the root cause of your injury and create a plan that addresses both the symptoms and the underlying problem.

2. Tailored Rehabilitation Plans

Every plan is fully customised to your needs, taking into account:

• The type and severity of your injury

• The demands of your lifestyle, job, or sport

• Your goals for pain relief, movement quality, and long-term performance

We combine manual therapy, movement retraining, mobility exercises, and strength development to deliver lasting recovery and restore natural, pain-free movement.

3. Ongoing Support and Recovery Monitoring

We’re with you every step of the way, offering:

• Progress reviews and regular plan adjustments

• Education on self-care and injury prevention
