What We Do
Solidus Health & Strength makes taking care of your body easy. Our expert therapists provide hands-on manual therapy and corrective exercises to keep you feeling better, longer.
Our expert therapists are here to help you feel your best live pain free recover from injuries
The first step to rehabilitation is understanding the injury. Our physios will take the time to learn how it occurred and what aggravates it. During our initial consultation, we’ll perform manual tests to assess your movement patterns, posture, muscle strength, and imbalances.
Once we’ve correctly diagnosed the root of your injury, our basketball physiotherapists will develop a rehabilitation program tailored specifically for you. And by the end of treatment, you will have regained your range of motion, muscle strength and stability. You’ll also have the tools you need to prevent future injuries.

FAQs
Is physiotherapy good for athletes?
Physiotherapy is an excellent treatment option for athletes suffering from aches, nagging injuries and general wear and tear. In addition to rehabbing acute and chronic injuries, our treatment will help you maintain optimal physical condition and prevent injuries from occurring. Our therapists are experienced in treating athletes of all levels and can create a rehabilitation program that is tailored specifically for you.
What is the most common injury in basketball?
Ankle sprains are the most common injury, whether you’re a high school player or a seasoned professional. Because basketball involves sudden changes in direction and explosive jumping, it’s not surprising that ankle injuries are so common. However, with the right physiotherapy treatment and adequate rest, you can quickly heal most ankle sprains.
When should I see a basketball physio?
If you’re experiencing any pain or discomfort while playing basketball or recently suffered an injury, it’s best to see a physiotherapist as soon as possible. Waiting too long to seek treatment, or continuing to play can prolong the healing process, but it can also lead to further injury.
How do you treat a basketball injury?
After you’ve injured yourself, you can perform RICE: rest, ice, compression and elevation. Once the initial swelling has subsided, our physiotherapists will assess and treat your injury with a combination of hands-on therapy, targeted exercises and advice on injury prevention
Why choose Solidus?
While you could take a break from basketball and let your injury heal, you may be susceptible to reinjury if it’s not adequately rehabilitated. At Solidus, we incorporate techniques that will speed up recovery and help you become injury resilient and a better athlete overall. By correcting muscle weaknesses, posture, and poor technique, you’ll eventually become a more explosive and efficient player on the court.
