Sports injury care · Byford
Sports injuries.Back to it, not benched.
Runners, lifters, footballers, netballers, jiu-jitsu people, weekend warriors — sports injuries don’t happen because you’re weak, they happen because something in your load isn’t adding up.

Return to sport
Milestones, not guesswork
Assess
Movement testing relevant to your sport, joint and muscle assessment, and a clear diagnosis in plain language.
Restore
Adjustments to restore joint mechanics, plus soft-tissue work where it helps.
Load
Progressive return-to-sport work with real benchmarks — pain-free jogging before running, strength before contact.
Protect
The two or three highest-value exercises for your pattern, and sensible load-progression rules.
Your first visit
We’d rather modify than shut it down
At Uprise, sports care starts with a careful look at how you move, where the injury sits, and what was different in the days or weeks before it. From there we build a return-to-sport plan around the actual cause, not just the pain.
Care combines chiropractic adjustments, soft-tissue work where helpful, and a clear progression of movements that take you back to training — without losing all the work you’ve already done.
For competitive athletes, we work alongside your strength coach, physio, or sports doctor when needed. You stay in the loop the whole way.
- Return-to-sport care plans, not blanket rest
- Care for runners, lifters, team-sport athletes
- Same-week appointments for acute injuries
- Workers compensation and insurance claims accepted
What we see
Sports injuries we treat
From weekend footy and netball to running, cycling, CrossFit and gym training, active people across Byford and the Serpentine-Jarrahdale area come to us with a familiar list: lower back strain from deadlifts, hip and hamstring issues in runners, shoulder and neck problems from overhead sports, and the rolled ankles and corked thighs of winter sport. We also see the overuse side — the niggle that's been 'managed' with foam rolling for six months and keeps coming back.
Our job is to find why the tissue keeps getting overloaded — a stiff joint above or below, a strength deficit, a technique or load-management issue — not just to rub where it hurts.
We'd rather modify your training than shut it down. Wherever possible we work around your program — deload here, substitute there — because athletes who keep training some capacity return better than those who stop everything.
Next time
Preventing the next one
Most recurrent injuries have a story: incomplete rehab, a rapid spike in training load, or a mobility restriction that never got addressed. Once you're back, we'll show you the two or three highest-value exercises for your pattern and sensible load-progression rules. Some athletes choose periodic check-ins during heavy training blocks; that's available but never compulsory.
Frequently asked questions
Should I stop training while injured?
Rarely completely. For most injuries we modify rather than stop — reducing load, substituting movements, and keeping everything that doesn't provoke symptoms. Complete rest usually just makes you detrained and still injured.
Do you treat acute injuries like ankle sprains?
Yes. Early assessment rules out anything needing imaging, and early guided loading is one of the best-evidenced ways to speed recovery from sprains and strains. We also address the joints above and below that often stiffen after injury.
When can I return to sport?
When you've hit objective milestones — full pain-free range, strength close to the other side, and sport-specific movements at speed without symptoms — not just when it 'feels okay'. We map these milestones for your sport at the first visit.
Can chiropractic improve performance, not just treat injury?
Our focus is restoring normal joint motion and resolving niggles that limit training quality. Many athletes report moving and training better with restricted joints addressed, but we don't make performance-enhancement claims beyond that.
Do you work with junior athletes?
Yes — growing athletes have their own injury patterns (growth-plate related, overuse from year-round sport). Care is always age-appropriate and low-force where indicated. See also our paediatric chiropractic page.
