At My Health Chiro, we help people recover from sporting injuries by understanding not just the injured area, but how the body is coordinating movement and managing load.
Whether this is a recent setback or something that keeps returning — and whether you’re an athlete, weekend competitor or gym regular — we provide clear guidance so you can return to training and sport with confidence.

Sporting injuries can occur suddenly — through impact, overload, or awkward movement — or gradually, as repeated stress accumulates over time.
Common presentations include:
While tissue healing is important, full recovery often depends on how confidently and efficiently the body reorganises movement after injury.
We commonly see a range of sporting and training-related injuries, including:
Each injury presents differently, and recovery depends not just on the tissue involved, but on how the body is coordinating movement and managing load as you return to activity.
In many cases, tissue begins healing within weeks. Yet symptoms may persist longer than expected.
This can happen when:
In these situations, the injured structure may not be the only factor involved. The way the nervous system is organising movement and tension can influence how stable, strong or reliable the area feels.
That’s why injuries can:
Movement is governed by the nervous system.
Strength, balance, flexibility and coordination all depend on how well the brain and body communicate — particularly under load.
When communication is disrupted by injury, fatigue, stress or repeated overload, the body may struggle to adapt efficiently.
From this perspective, sporting injuries aren’t only about damaged tissue. They’re also about how the body is:
Recovery improves when confident coordination returns — not just when discomfort
decreases.
No. If you already know where you’d prefer to begin, you’re welcome to book directly for either chiropractic care or Neuro-Physio. If you’re unsure, we can assess your injury and guide the most appropriate starting point. You don’t need to figure it out before booking.

Yes. If you’re specifically looking for physiotherapy-style movement rehabilitation or chiropractic support for a sporting injury in Melbourne, you can book directly into the approach you prefer. If your situation would benefit from a combined or different pathway, we’ll guide that in-clinic.
If you’ve had a recent sporting injury and are unsure whether it’s safe to return to training, an early assessment can help clarify stability, load tolerance and appropriate next steps. You don’t need to wait until it becomes chronic to seek guidance.
Recurring injuries often suggest that movement coordination, load management or recovery capacity needs attention — not just the injured tissue itself. If you’ve had repeat hamstring strains, ankle sprains, shoulder irritation or lower back flare-ups, we can assess what may be contributing to the pattern.
No referral is required. You can book directly online.
That’s common. Some people seek care immediately after injury. Others look for further clarity when progress slows. Our role isn’t to replace previous care — it’s to assess what may still need attention and help you move forward confidently.
If you want a structured, coordinated approach to recovery — whether that’s movement-based rehabilitation, nervous system support or both — this may be an appropriate starting point. If your situation requires imaging, specialist referral or another provider, we’ll let you know and help direct you appropriately.
Our focus is to maximise the function of your body so that you can perform at your peak all the time!
It’s essential to introduce early mobilisation in the injury phase to stimulate a healthy flow of toxins out and repair cells to help speed up recovery and repair.
Being proactive in preventing injuries is a major focus of chiropractic and the work we do at our office.
