Rugby Injury Physiotherapy in Glasgow

Rugby injuries are rarely down to one factor alone. Common contributors include:

• High contact load during matches and training
• Fatigue reducing control and reaction time
• Reduced strength or stability following previous injury
• Limited mobility in key areas such as hips or shoulders
• Returning to play before full recovery

Effective rehab needs to prepare the body for contact, not just reduce pain.

Your rugby injury assessment looks at the whole system, not just the injured area. We assess strength, movement quality, joint stability, and control relevant to rugby-specific demands.

Treatment may include:

• Hands-on physiotherapy to manage pain and stiffness
• Progressive strength and stability training
• Neck, shoulder, and core conditioning
• Functional and sport-specific exercises
• Advice on training load and recovery

Rehabilitation is tailored to your position, level, and goals.
