Overuse Injuries

Overuse injuries are caused by repetitive stress on muscles, tendons, or joints — often without giving the body enough time to rest and recover. Whether it’s from sport, work, or daily activity, these injuries can build up gradually until pain, inflammation, and stiffness start to interfere with your routine.

Physiotherapy offers a proven, structured approach to treating overuse injuries by reducing strain, improving movement, and building long-term resilience. We work with clients of all ages and activity levels to recover safely and prevent future flare-ups.

Relieve the strain. Restore your strength.

Overuse injuries develop slowly — but with the right care, they don’t have to become chronic. Our physiotherapists assess your posture, biomechanics, and activity patterns to identify what’s placing strain on your body. Every treatment is one-on-one and customised to your needs, goals, and lifestyle.

Common overuse injuries we treat and techniques we use include:

Tendinopathy (e.g. Achilles, patellar, or rotator cuff tendons)
Stress fractures and shin splints
ITB syndrome and bursitis
Manual therapy and soft tissue massage
Corrective exercises and strengthening
Taping or bracing for support
Load management and training advice
Ergonomic and technique adjustments

Support for Sport, Work, and Everyday Life

Overuse injuries can affect anyone — from athletes and tradies to desk workers and gardeners. Whether you’ve been lifting, typing, running, or playing a sport, repetitive strain can lead to nagging discomfort that worsens over time. Our goal is to not only treat the immediate pain, but to give you the tools to move better and avoid future issues.

We’ll help you understand how and why the injury developed, and work with you to make safe and sustainable changes to your training, work, or daily activities.

Preventing Recurrence Starts Here

The best way to manage overuse injuries is to stop them before they escalate. Physiotherapy gives you the tools to stay strong and pain-free for the long term — from tailored home exercises and strength programs to advice on recovery, rest, and pacing.
