Frequently asked questions
Do you only help people with sports injuries?
No. Anyone can use our services. Whilst we specialise in treating sports injuries, we also provide treatment and support for anyone suffering from regular musculoskeletal (joint, muscle, ligament, tendon etc.) injuries.
How can you diagnose me without touching me?
Is my injury suitable for treatment via the Internet?
Most injuries involving joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves (musculoskeletal injuries) are suitable for treatment via the internet. You are welcome to ask us if you are not sure.
Can I trust that you will refer me on if I need it?
How can you treat me without touching me?
I have tried exercises before, but it did not work. Why will your treatment plan work?
-
It was the wrong diagnosis and therefore the wrong exercises. At SIP we combine our years of experience in treating athletes with a detailed evaluation to provide you with a diagnosis. -
It was the wrong intensity or type of exercise for that stage of the healing process. At SIP we provide you with ongoing support and tweak your rehabilitation programme if necessary. -
You did not get a timely review or support throughout the programme. We are all different and what works for one person may have a totally different effect on the next. With SIP you have ongoing and convenient access to us, your physiotherapists, and we always encourage frequent communication. This way, we can quickly identify if a certain exercise is not right for you and make appropriate adjustments. -
You did not follow a graded return to sport. Whilst we always aim to help you return to sport as soon as possible, it is very important to do this in a gradual manner. We have years of clinical experience in helping people return to sport in a safe and effective manner.
Can you guarantee that you can fix my injury?
No. A full recovery can never be guaranteed, not for ‘face to face’ or online consultations.
What if I don't have access to video call technology like Skype/WhatsApp/Zoom?
I do not live in the United Kingdom. Can I still use SIP’s services?
