Sports nutrition is a pillar of an athlete’s success, unique to every athlete. Whether you are a recreational or a professional athlete, it can result in improvements in performance, injury prevention, and faster recovery, optimizing the effects of training in the shortest possible time. Consuming the right type/amount of food and fluids at the right time is important for those who are actively participating in sports. Athletes who train multiple times a day need to ensure that they recover well between sessions. Young athletes may have higher requirements to support growth and demands of sport. Supplementation (including vitamins and minerals) is crucial for enhancing performance.

The diet can also help athletes recover faster from an injury and maintain their muscle mass through the phase of inactivity. The pre, intra and post training nutrition/hydration guidelines are based on:

Sport specific exercise programs are developed by our training team
A detailed biomechanical evaluation is performed before designing the plan. The plan will take into account existing training schedules. Suggestions are made where modifications are needed. Activities are scheduled based on intensity and recovery to avoid overlap and overtraining. Athletes with Covid might need additional screening/risk assessments before resuming activity.
Rehab/Return to play: The goals of rehab are to progressively move an athlete from passive to active protocols and finally resuming pre injury activity levels.
Prehab: Sports Prehab assesses and addresses any potential limitations athletes might have before embarking on a programme of training or exercise. While it is impossible to make yourself 100 percent resistant to injury, you can minimise your risk by understanding your current musculoskeletal health and working to improve functional movement related to your sport. The training team can conduct specific screening and recommend accessory drills and exercises that complement your main workouts.
Podiatry: Podiatry is the science of the foot and a physiotherapist trained in podiatry can diagnose lower limb problems like:

Sport can have an impact on the psyche and affect an athlete’s performance. Athletes might become anxious, lose focus during competition, have trouble communicating with teammates/controlling their temper, choke at key moments during a game or lost motivation to exercise on some days. Athletes don’t have to consult sports psychologists only when they’re having difficulties. Sport psychologists can also help:
