Physiotherapy for basketball
Basketball is jumping and landing a thousand times a game. Ankles and knees take almost all of it, and the difference between coming back right and dragging pain through a season is how the jump is readapted. Professional and academy players get the same data.
What we treat most in basketball
Ankle sprains
The number-one injury under the rim. Ligament, proprioception and progressive return to contact: a badly healed ankle goes again on the first rebound.
Jumper's knee (patellar tendinopathy)
The price of thousands of jumps. Ultrasound-guided EPI plus eccentric loading programmed by the athletic trainer.
ACL injuries
Full post-surgical readaptation with force-plate testing: landing symmetry measured before you step back on court.
Finger and wrist injuries
Frequent and underestimated. Treatment and functional splinting so you stop no longer than necessary.
Lumbar overload and Achilles tendon
Season load accumulates. We detect it in assessment and manage it before it becomes an injury.
How we work it
Assessment of jump and landing mechanics on the force plate, treatment of the injury (manual therapy, EPI, INDIBA) and sport-specific readaptation: jumping, landing, braking and changing direction on data, not on feelings.
