Specialist Treatment for Injury, Recovery and Performance
Sports physiotherapy focuses on diagnosing, treating and preventing injuries related to exercise, sport and physical activity. At The Performance Lab in Marylebone, we provide personalised physiotherapy designed to help you recover from injury, restore movement and return to activity with confidence.
Injuries can occur at any level, from occasional exercise to regular training or competitive sport. Whether your symptoms developed suddenly or over time, effective treatment depends on understanding how your body moves and what may be contributing to the problem.
Our approach combines hands-on treatment with structured rehabilitation, helping you recover safely while improving strength and resilience.
What Sports Physiotherapy Involves
Sports physiotherapy looks beyond the site of pain to assess how the body moves as a whole.
Injury is often influenced by a combination of factors, including strength, flexibility, technique and load. Treatment focuses on identifying these factors and addressing them through a targeted plan.
This may include:
- Movement and biomechanical assessment
- Manual therapy to improve joint mobility
- Soft tissue techniques to reduce muscle tension
- Progressive rehabilitation exercises
- Strength and conditioning principles
- Guidance on training and load management
The goal is to support recovery while reducing the risk of future injury.

Sports physiotherapy is suitable for anyone experiencing injury or limitation related to physical activity.
You may benefit from treatment if you:
- Have sustained a sports or gym related injury
- Experience pain during or after exercise
- Are returning to activity after a break
- Have recurring injuries
