Sports injuries make up about 50% of the injuries we treat, the rest consist of more everyday problems such as back pain, neck pain, headaches etc.

So are you a sports injury clinic?

Well yes. We have a sports injury department in both Southampton and the New Forest that specialises with the assessment and treatment of sports related injuries.

I don’t think I have a sports injury, can I still come and see you?

Of course! As already mentioned we treat both sports related injuries and non sports related injuries. If you would like more information then please feel free to contact us.

How are sports injuries treated compared to non sports injuries?

Sports injuries are usually more complex than non sports injuries. This is because sports participation places more stress on the body than sedentary lifestyle. Our sports injury clinics in Southampton and the New Forest specifically looks at why the injury has happened in the first place and assesses how the particular sport is contributing to the injury.

How do I know if I have a sports related injury?

An injury is an injury no matter whether you play sport or not and will respond with treatment. A sports injury could be classified as an injury that has directly occurred as a result of playing sport or is emerging when sport is being played.

How do you treat sports related injuries?

1. We assess the injury
2. We treat the injury
3. We understand the sport you are playing
4. We rehab the injury to your particular sport
5. We fix the injury

Our sports injury clinic in Southampton and the New Forest look at why the injury has happened. Treatment will focus initially on the symptoms of your injury to help with pain relief. It will then target the underlying cause of the injury to help prevent it from happening again.

The key from then on is to fully understand the demands of the particular sport you are participating in. Whether it be long distance running, triathlons, contact sports such as football or rugby, sports that require very fast changes of direction such as tennis or badminton. It doesn’t matter what the particular sport is, we will develop and implement a rehab programme that is specific to your needs and the demands placed upon your body through the sport you play.

Where are you based?

Our sports injury clinic in Southampton is located just 2 minutes from junction 7 on the M27.

Our sports injury clinic in the New Forest is based in Hale close to Fordingbridge and Downton.

Physio Hedge End – Job Vacany

We are currently looking for an experienced Physiotherapist
to join our team. If you are a physio in Hedge End & wishing

us via the centres page with your CV and references.

The position will involve assessment, diganosis, treatment
and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries.

Position will be initially on a part-time basis.

What we do at James Grigg Centres?

Injury treatment

At James Grigg we diagnose and treat pain or injury that is muscular, joint or nerve related.

These include back pain, neck pain, trapped nerves, slipped discs, whiplash, ligament problems, tendon problems, sports injuries, headaches, fractures, joint replacements, muscle tears etc.

Treatment may included; joint mobilisations, sports massage, rehabilitation exercises, postural assessment and correction, deep tissue release, strengthening and stretching etc.

For more information on what and how we treat please click here

Sports Massage

Sports massage is quite simply massage….. just better.
It works by applying deep pressure to areas of tightness
within the muscle often known as knots. These knots
cause pain at the site of the tightness within the muscle.
However, it is also common for muscular knots to cause
pain in other areas of the body that are not tight. This is
called “refereed pain”. For example, tightness in the upper
back and shoulder muscles can cause headache pain.

Sports massage will leave you feeling refreshed,
rejuvenated and relaxed. Due to the demands
of daily living and the stresses we place on our
bodies, many people put up with constant dull
aches or niggling pains. Most of these are of
muscular origin. Sports massage address’s these
issues and resolves them quickly often with
immediate effect.

For more information on pain in a particular region of the body then please see below

Running injuries are more common than ever, as
the popularity of pounding the streets or treadmill
increases as a form of competition, social activity or
means of toning up those unused muscles.

Unfortunately many suffer with some common running
related injuries such as Achilles, calf, knee, thigh, hip
or back pain. Many beginner runners often stop after
only just taking up the activity due to pain or
discomfort. This is such a shame as most of these
injuries can be either avoided or cured.

Running / video analysis

The way we run has a significant impact on the way the body functions. A poor running technique can be the cause of many running related injuries.

For example, weakness in the buttock muscles can cause the knee to fall inwards thus increasing the strain placed on the inside of the knee. Equally, a flat foot arch can cause increased strain and eventually injury on the Achilles tendon.

Video analysis of a subject running can highlight these areas and help structure an appropriate treatment plan to treat the cause of the injury.

Achilles Tendon, Calf & Knee Pain

The most common running related injuries we
see here at the James Grigg Centres are
Achilles, calf and knee associated pain.

We regularly video our clients on the treadmill
and watch together on the big screen in slow motion
to fully understand how the lower limbs are
functioning whilst running.

Instead of just treating the symptoms, this
allows us to correct the underlying problems
when forming a structured treating plan.

The treatment plan is usually as follows…

1. Video analysis
2. Establish any biomechanical errors
3. Correct biomechanical errors
4. Mobilise stiff joints
5. Sports massage
6. Strengthening exercises
7. Re-assess for biomechanical errors
8. Pain free running!

Not everyone will need a video analysis

Running injuries are not always caused by a bad running technique and therefore video analysis may not be necessary or will provide no use when analysed.

The more running we do, the more maintenance we need. For example: a marathon runner should have regular sports massages to help recover the repetitive damage caused by training.

This individual may have a perfectly good running technique but is still getting pain. Therefore the treatment plan will differ.

So whether you run 5k, 10k, half marathons,
full marathons, triathlons or just run for fun…
if you are in pain… it can be fixed

Sports massage – it’s not just for athletes

It’s not just for athletes

Sports massage is not just for sports players, it is a great
treatment for all people regardless of age and fitness.
It has many benefits including….

• Releasing tight knots.
• Relieving headaches
• Reducing tension
• Improving flexibility
• Preventing injury
• Improving blood flow
• Reducing pain
• Improving muscle tone and co-ordination

James Grigg Centres at Salisbury City FC

“James Grigg Centres are responsible for the medical department at Salisbury City FC where sports massage is used frequently”

Sports massage is a key component used within the medical department at Salisbury City FC. It is vital in helping to prevent injuries, aiding recovery from lactic acid build up, improving flexibility, reducing headaches and areas of tight knots.

Why is sports massage called “sports” massage?

The reason why sports massage is called “sports” massage is because it originated in sport. Athletes have exactly the same muscles as non-athletes so it is completely normal to have a sports massage if you don’t play sport. In all honesty it is probably more beneficial to non-sporting individuals to have regular sports massages. This is because non-sporting individuals often have more muscular knots and tightness than athletes.

So can you have a sports massage if you don’t play sport, absolutely!

more benefits

There are so many reasons why sports massage is beneficial

Stretching

The use of sports massage will improve flexibility that normal stretches cannot improve.

Elasticity

Hard training can cause muscle tissue to tighten up and become inelastic. Sports massage can greatly improve muscle tissue elasticity which then improves co-ordination, reaction times and agility.

Tissue permeability

Sports massage can increase tissue permeability which means valuable nutrients and minerals are more easily able to pass through to the muscles. Increased tissue permeability also helps the removal of lactic acid and other waste products that produce as a result of exercise.

Injury prevention

Sports massage greatly reduces the period of rehabilitation after suffering an injury. It also helps prevent injuries from happening in the first place.

Reduction of headaches

Sports massage is one of the most effective ways to stop headaches -

Reducing tension

Sports massage is probably the best way to help reduce built up tension especially in the neck and shoulders.

Post-op rehabilitation

Post-op rehabilitation is the immediate care following a surgical procedure i.e. joint replacements, ligament reconstructions, arthroscopies, debridements etc. It is considered by many as more crucial than the procedure itself.

Post-op rehabilitation focuses on regaining range of motion, strength, flexibility, co-ordination and balance to the affected area. This does not simply happen on it’s own. The nature of the operation will determine the amount of rehabilitation required. A joint replacement for example will take far longer to rehabilitate than a minor cartilage repair.

This is one of the most common questions we are
asked here at the James Grigg Centre’s so we thought
we would answer it the in the most simplest way
possible.

The definitions…..

Sports Therapy

“Sports Therapy is an aspect of healthcare that is specifically
concerned with the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation
of the patient back to optimum levels of functional, occupational
and sports specific fitness, regardless of age and ability.”

http://www.society-of-sports-therapists.org

Physiotherapy (physio)

people to promote their own health and well being. Physiotherapy
helps restore movement and function to as near normal as possible
when someone is affected by injury, illness or by developmental or

http://www.csp.org.uk/

As you can see, the definitions overlap quite considerably.

Physiotherapy is a protected title, i.e. only qualified chartered physiotherapists are allowed to call themselves physiotherapists. Sports Therapy is currently undergoing this process with the health professional council.

As it stands anyone can call themselves a sports therapist whether or not they have undertaken the “BSc (Hons)” degree regulated by the Society of Sports Therapists. This means that there can be many different levels of training that a sports therapist can receive. This is hopefully going to change in the near future.

The highest and most respected level of trainnig is the graduate degree and only practitioners that have completed this training can place the letters “BSc (Hons)” after their name. It is our recommendation that when you visit a sports therapist that you look for these letters to ensure they have undertaken the degree level of training.

There are many health care professions available to the public including; sports therapy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, osteopathy, cranio-sacral, podiatry etc. These all have their own individual definitions on what they do and how they differ in specific areas. The truth is that the fundamental goal within each profession remains the same…..

Help return the individual to whatever activity without pain
or discomfort in the shortest & safest amount of time possible.

It is a common misconception to believe that you should only go and see a sports therapist if you have a sports related injury. This is simply something that is not true. A sports therapist is highly trained to treat all kinds of musculoskeletal pain or injury regardless of their sporting level.

The James Grigg Centre’s only employ graduate Sports Therapists and are therefore extremely confident in their approach to assessment, diagnosis and treatment of pain.
