• Physiotherapy For Gamers

    How can physiotherapy help my game?

  • What is physiotherapy for gamers?

    We are avid fans of video games and love playing all sorts of genres on different devices including console, PC and mobile. It's our goal to help others who have the same love of video games play on without pain or discomfort, whether that be professionals, competitors or casual gamers.

     

    Our physios are no strangers to what it's like to get fully immersed in a game and lose track of time, all the while sustaining an awkward posture, continuously clicking, tapping, or performing repetitive movements. And nothing is more frustrating or distracting than experiencing pain or discomfort while gaming.

     

    We use our physio and gaming knowledge to help you recover from injury, experience less pain and get you back to gaming as soon as possible. Our physios will perform an assessment to identify not only your injury, but any contributing factors that may be affecting your game, come up with a personalised treatment plan to get you back to gaming, and make sure you're completely comfortable in understanding what's going on and how you're going to get better!

    Esports Coverage and Dedicated Esports Team Physio

    We offer Esports coverage and a personal Esports Team physio as part of our services. Esports coverage includes a physio who will be present on site during esports competitions. They are there to provide first aid, strapping, taping and bracing. They will also provide assessment, management and further advice on a treatment plan for any competitors that may experience pain or injury during a competition. We want to ensure that the competitors can enjoy the experience of competing, and have a prolonged and fulfilling career as esports athletes.

     

    If you want to get that competitive edge on other teams consider physiotherapy services to help prevent injury, or manage injury during your training, camps or competitions. A dedicated team physio will assess the environment and ergonomic set up, as well as your team's abilities (strength, endurance, reaction speed, coordination and functional skills) to come up with personalised programs for injury prevention or injury management tailored to each of your team members.
