Gym Injury Treatment Melbourne
Back strains, shoulder injuries, knee pain, tendon problems, we treat all gym-related injuries and get you back training faster.
Why Choose Injury Active
Gym injuries are frustrating, especially when they force you to stop training. At Injury Active Clinic, our practitioners are active themselves and understand the demands of strength training, CrossFit, powerlifting, and general gym work.
We don't just tell you to rest. Our multi-disciplinary team of physiotherapists, osteopaths, myotherapists, and exercise physiologists will assess your injury thoroughly, identify the root cause, and build a plan that keeps you as active as possible while you recover.
Common Gym Injuries
Gym injuries range from acute muscle strains to chronic overuse conditions. Accurate diagnosis is the first step to effective treatment.
Muscle or ligament injuries from deadlifts, squats, or rows, often caused by poor technique, excessive load, or fatigue. One of the most common gym injuries we treat.
Rotator cuff tendons can become sensitised and irritated, typically from bench pressing and overhead work. Causes sharp pain with certain arm positions.
Patellofemoral pain, patellar tendinopathy, or IT band syndrome from squatting, leg press, or running on a treadmill. Often related to movement pattern issues or load management.
Partial or complete tears of the bicep tendon or pectoral muscle, usually from heavy bench press or curling. Requires prompt assessment to determine whether conservative or surgical management is appropriate.
Lateral or medial epicondylitis ('tennis elbow' or 'golfer's elbow') from gripping, pulling, or pressing movements. Responds well to load management and progressive tendon rehabilitation.
Overuse injuries from high-volume pressing, gripping, or barbell work. Common in powerlifters and CrossFit athletes. Treatment focuses on load management and tissue rehabilitation.
