Sports Therapy in Warwick
Based in the heart of the countryside, a few miles from Warwick, our Sports Therapy treatments are designed to address the underlying causes of pain and injury.
Our specialised hands-on techniques are ideal if you suffer from an athletic injury, or if you suffer more generally from muscle soreness. Sports Therapists are experts in Musculoskeletal Pain and Injury.

What is Sports Therapy?
Sports Therapists are experts at musculo-skeletal pain and injury. Their training involves not just understanding the muscular system, but also how to evaluate, treat, and strengthen this system. This means that when you see a Sports Therapist, they really know how the body works and how to correct your pain.
Sports Therapists work very well with Physiotherapists, let us say for instance that you had an operation on your knee. Physiotherapy is a great place to start after surgery, they understand and have worked in hospitals, so can handle the initial stages of rehabilitation.
But once this is done, and this individual wants to return to work or sports, the sports therapist is the ideal person to bring rehabilitation up to this deeper level.
Sports therapists are able to evaluate any body pain; be it Back Pain, Headaches, Shoulder Pain, or Osteoarthritis. The hands-on nature of sports therapists is the ideal blend of Sports Masseuse, Physical Therapist and Personal Trainer, which is why they achieve such great results.
What makes us different?
Both Ian and Gina are Sports Therapists, but as well as having qualifications in Sports Therapy, they have degrees in Sports Science, which means that they see things slightly differently.
Sports Scientists are trained in Biomechanics, which is the understanding of how muscles work together to create movements.
This means when we are looking at knee pain, we are also looking at how the muscles are interplaying, and how this could cause this knee pain.
How the pelvis moves, how your feet function, and even how the shoulders are interacting may be taken into account in order to find the root of the issue.
Do you just work with sports injuries?
Sports Therapists are excellent at treating sports injuries due to their deep understanding of how the muscular system works. But, that knowledge means that they are able to treat any muscle or joint issue, not just Sports Injuries.
Let us say you are an amateur tennis player who has some elbow pain. We can evaluate and treat the "tennis elbow," but that pain came from somewhere.
So, here at Reinge Clinic, with our Sports Science background, we can test your grip strength on your racket, we can test your entire shoulder area for strength issues and imbalances in order to find where your tennis elbow came from.
Now, say the same client goes on to develop frozen shoulder, a Sports Therapist could treat that frozen shoulder as well, then adapt the rehab exercises to ensure they are strong enough to be back on the tennis court as soon as possible.

I have used the Reinge Clinic for several years and they have enabled me to continue Canoeing and Kayaking at a high level and enjoy my active lifestyle generally. Their approach is very thorough and both Ian and Gina are very knowledgeable. I strongly recommend that you contact them to help deal with or recover from any physical injury.

Gina and Ian are a fantastic team. They've both been involved in my rehab from injury and generally keeping me going. They've got a high level of knowledge and a no nonsense but caring approach. I recommend them to my clients and friends. You're in great hands.

We race sidecar Motocross, which is possibly one of the most demanding sports on the planet. After a large crash where we both sustained injuries we visited the Reinge Clinic. I was treated by Gina and my passenger by Ian. Both are fantastically knowledgable , they clearly explained what we had broken and how they were going to fix it. We have been able to continue racing through both the treatment sessions but the strengthening programmes they designed to ensure injuries do not reoccur.
