Sports Physiotherapy in
Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs
Sports physiotherapy is a specialised area of physiotherapy focused on the assessment, treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of injuries in active people and athletes. It looks beyond pain relief to consider how your sport, training load, movement patterns and goals all shape your recovery.
At BeFit Training Physio in Edgecliff and Coogee, sports physiotherapy is one of our core areas of expertise. Our team has worked with athletes across a wide range of sports, life stages and levels, from school sport players through to recreational, semi-professional and professional athletes. The common thread is that we treat every athlete as an individual, with care that reflects the specific demands of their sport and the goals they are working toward.
What sports physiotherapy involves
Sports physiotherapy combines clinical assessment, hands-on treatment, structured rehabilitation, and performance-focused loading. The aim is not just to settle pain or get you back to training, but to build a body that can handle the demands of your sport over the long term.
Every program at BeFit starts with a thorough assessment. Your physio takes time to understand your history, your sport, your training, and the specifics of what is going on. They look at how you move, where the contributors are, and what is most likely to make the biggest difference for your recovery and performance. From there, your plan is built around the realities of your training, your competition schedule and your life.
Sessions may include manual therapy, dry needling, taping, structured exercise, return to running and return to sport programming. Treatment progresses as you do, with objective testing at each stage to make sure progression is based on what your body can handle rather than how much time has passed. Where surgery or other medical care is involved, we work alongside surgeons, GPs and other specialists to support the bigger picture.
What to expect from your first appointment
Your first appointment is an Initial Physiotherapy Assessment. You’ll have genuine one-on-one time with one of our AHPRA-registered physiotherapists.
Your physio will ask about your symptoms, your sport, your training history, your goals, and how the issue is affecting you day to day. They will also look at how you move, your strength, your range of motion, and the specific demands of your sport. From there, you will leave with a clear picture of what is going on, what your physio recommends, and what your plan looks like, including what you can do between sessions to support your progress.
Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely. If you have had any previous scans or reports, feel free to bring them, but do not stress if you do not have them on hand.

Who we work with
We see athletes across the full spectrum. School sport players managing growing bodies and competitive schedules. Recreational runners, surfers, weight trainers and weekend warriors who want to keep doing what they love. Competitive amateur athletes chasing personal goals. Semi-professional and professional athletes whose careers depend on staying healthy and performing well. We also work with parents of school sport athletes who want their kids managed properly during important developmental years.
The BeFit Method is built around a clear progression. We begin with a thorough assessment to understand what is driving your symptoms. We then restore movement, strength and confidence through a structured rehabilitation plan. From there, we build the resilience needed to keep you moving well for the long term. Every plan is individualised, evidence-based, and grounded in measurable outcomes.
