Back to Back’s Sports Injury Clinic

We use a scientific approach to help prevent, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate injuries that are related to sport and exercise. Sports medicine is much more than just treating sprains and aches; it encompasses all aspects of health, including fitness, athletic performance and exercise to help medical problems.

We use a personally-tailored approach to guide and support you through the process of assessment and proper diagnosis, which means you get the correct treatment and rehabilitation, and get back to being active.

Whether you’re an elite athlete struggling with a chronic injury, or you just haven’t exercised since your school days, we’re a great place to start if you’re injured or feeling 'under par'.

We work alongside a broad network of trusted and skilled professionals, so whatever your problem, we can seamlessly link your care and guide you through to recovery – from start to finish.

My Knee Rehabilitation! Nothing much to write today, other than I have been gradually increasing the amount of walking I have been doing and very clearly, it was too much! My knee was feeling unstable and it was ‘talking’ to me more. It was not unstable in any way. But it was just telling me to back off and I needed to listen. Knee rehabilitation after surgery takes time!

“My age and fitness are in conflict with my desire to take on extreme and eccentric sports. As a consequence I frequently suffer from injuries to my back, knees, ankles etc. I have been a patient of Back to Back for over ten years and would recommend them. I particularly appreciate the approach that looks at the biomechanics of the body as a whole rather than just the specific symptoms that are apparent at the time.

It is also extremely helpful that James seems to have a network of excellent specialist physicians; so referrals, where necessary, are always very satisfactory too.”
