Welcome

Sussex injury clinics was formed in 1990 as a partnership of like minded therapists with a view to offering a comprehensive range of high standard treatment options to all sectors of the population. To this end, all therapists are fully qualified and registered members of professional bodies with a firm commitment to the sporting health and welfare of local people. There is a major emphasis on educating sports people on injury prevention, which also includes advising children involved in competitive sport.

All consultations and treatments are conducted on a one to one basis and are thoroughly assessed with an initial consultation and examination, followed up by a variety of remedial manual therapy treatments including mobilization techniques, soft tissue manipulation, sports massage and deep massage for the relief of stress. Electrotherapy equipment may also be used if thought appropriate, such as ultrasound, interferential, laser, tens and biofeedback.
Therapists are specialists in injury treatment but are also qualified to offer nutritional and training advice.

Patients come from a wide cross section of the population from international and world class athletes including Sally Gunnell, professional footballers / rugby players and national junior tennis squad members to those with a sedentary lifestyle with ages ranging from 8 to 88.

Treatments emphasize tailoring rehabilitation programs to the individual requirements whether that is sports specific, employment related or pre and post operative care. An arrangement with Withdean gym for injury rehabilitation has proved very successful for all concerned.

In addition to the treatment of back and neck injuries, there are referrals from Consultants, GP`s, and Osteopaths / Chiropractor for back exercise classes where specific postural exercises are taught. The results can empower a return to sport or employment and greatly improve quality of life to the extent that an operation may no longer be required.

Injury prevention talks have been held within organizations such as the Inland Revenue and Sussex Ambulance Service is a major client.

Sussex Injury Clinics were approached to devise a new fitness test for the Sussex Ambulance Service and offer advice on lifting techniques. The group currently provides all fitness tests to the service and treats employee's injuries.

Match day physiotherapy and first aid has been provided to Hove Rugby Football Club. In previous seasons there has been pitch side involvement with Brighton RFC., Lewes RFC. and Sussex Thunder ( formally the B52s ) . There are also associations with other sports teams / clubs in the area.
