What is Sport Medicine?

One important area of sports medicine is the treatment injuries commonly seen in sportsmen and women. You don't have to be a high level athlete to develop a sports injury. Our Sports Physicians at Wimbledon Clinics are experts in the management of sports injury and regularly treat sportsmen and women from amateur to elite level athletes.

Many ailments can arise in the weekend athlete, the person going to the gym a couple of times a week, doing DIY or even playing with the children. Most of the conditions appear fairly acutely and involve the soft tissues (muscles and tendons) rather than bones. We have a team of sports medicine doctors who are experts in the diagnosis and non-operative treatment of injuries. Our physiotherapists are often involved early and may be all that is required for full recovery.
