Sports injuries

A sports injury can limit your training and daily activities. At FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen, we assess your symptoms and discuss how you can gradually build up your exercise routine in a suitable way.

How can a sports injury occur?

An injury can occur suddenly, for example as a result of a fall or collision, or gradually due to overuse. We will also discuss your training, recovery and previous injuries. Possible factors include:

  • Overload
  • Not being properly warmed up
  • A fall or collision
  • One wrong move
  • The influence of stress on recovery and exercise
  • A previous injury
  • Incorrect technique or posture
  • Your physical capacity
  • Personal physical factors

If you experience sudden, severe pain following a movement or an accident, or if you are unable to use your arm or leg properly, please contact your GP or a physiotherapist for an assessment. If your symptoms are severe or are getting worse quickly, do not wait for a routine treatment appointment.

What can FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen do for you?

We tailor the balance between exercise and rest to the type of injury and what you are able to manage. We then gradually build up your exercises and sporting activity. This allows you to work on your strength, coordination and the activities that are important for your sport. The length of recovery varies depending on the injury and the individual.

During your first appointment, we will discuss your symptoms and assess your range of motion. Together, we will decide on the most appropriate course of treatment. You will be given personalised exercises to do at home via our own FRISK App. Read more about our sports physiotherapy and the information about sports injuries on Thuisarts.nl.

We’ll discuss how the injury started, your training, any previous injuries and what you’d like to be able to do again. We’ll then assess your movement and discuss suitable support or, if necessary, a medical assessment.
