you’re training for a marathon, playing weekend sport, hitting the gym, or just trying to stay active without getting hurt — sports physiotherapy is about helping your body perform and recover at its best.

At Lume Physio in Wollongong, we work with athletes at every level: from beginners building their first fitness routine to competitive athletes managing high training loads. Our sports physio approach is performance-focused and evidence-based, and it’s always built around what matters to you.

What does sports physiotherapy cover?

Sports physio at Lume covers everything from acute injury management through to long-term performance goals:

• Muscle strains and tears

• Ligament sprains (ankle, knee, shoulder)

• Tendon injuries and tendinopathy (Achilles, patella, rotator cuff)

• Stress fractures and overuse injuries

• ACL and knee rehabilitation

• Shoulder injuries and instability

• Return-to-sport planning and testing

• Load management and injury prevention

• Movement and technique analysis

• Strength and conditioning programs

Our approach to sports injury rehab

We know that being told to “just rest” isn’t good enough. Our job is to get you back to moving, training and competing — safely and as quickly as possible.

Every treatment plan at Lume Physio includes clear milestones, so you always know where you’re at and what comes next. We’ll manage your training load, progress your rehab, and set return-to-sport criteria so you come back stronger, not just pain-free.

Do I need a referral?

No referral needed. Book directly online and we’ll take care of the rest. Private health rebates apply for most sports physio services.
