Crossfit is a multi-faceted sport that involves a high degree of intensity and athleticism. As with any other physical activity, Crossfit can lead to injuries if your training program isn’t well-rounded and exercises aren’t performed correctly. Our team of Cross physios in Melbourne treat a wide range of crossfit-related injuries, ranging from tendonitis and sprains to more severe injuries such as joint dislocations.
Our rehabilitation programs are tailored specifically for Crossfitters, implementing a combination of manual therapy, strength exercises and gentle stretching to help you get back to your best. We also offer injury prevention advice, so you can stay safe and injury-free while enjoying your Crossfit sessions.
What Our Clients Say
How can we help?
Crossfit is unique because it combines a range of physical activities, including weightlifting, gymnastics and running. As a result, many crossfitters we treat suffer from rotator cuff and shoulder pain, lower back pain, ankle pain and elbow pain. Because of our vast experience in treating Crossfit injuries, we can rehabilitate these conditions and help you get back to your workouts stronger and more injury-resilient than ever before.
EXPERT THERAPISTS THAT UNDERSTAND YOUR NEEDS
Our therapists are all licensed health care professionals who can diagnose what your body is telling you and provide treatment to help reduce pain, correct posture, decrease tension, and improve the way you move.
Meet the Team
Cross fit injuries vary in nature, so no two rehabilitation programs are identical. Our physios will start by assessing your damage and then formulating a treatment plan based on their findings. Treatment will likely include a combination of manual therapy to relieve pain, exercises and stretches to improve range of motion and injury prevention advice. We also will correct any biomechanical imbalances that may be contributing to your injuries, such as poor posture or incorrect lifting technique.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, any type of sport can lead to injuries if you’re not careful. That’s why our team of sports physiotherapists offer treatment for a wide range of injuries, including the following:

FAQs
Are injuries more common in CrossFit?
The risk of injury in CrossFit training is comparable to distance running, Olympic weightlifting, rugby, track and field, football, ice hockey, soccer, or gymnastics. However, while CrossFit is relatively a safe sport, participants within their first training year and those who train fewer than three days a week have a higher risk of injury.
What are the most common injuries CrossFitters suffer from?
The shoulder, rotator cuff, back, ankle, knee, and elbow are CrossFit’s most commonly injured areas. If your CrossFit injury isn’t resolved with conservative treatment, you may require physiotherapy. Contact Solidus today to book your first consultation.
What are the dangers of CrossFit?
According to a study done on Crossfit, the most significant danger of Crossfit comes from participants pushing themselves too hard. While this is not uncommon due to the intensity and competitiveness of Crossfit, it can lead to form breakdown and injuries. Crossfitters should always be aware of their limits and not attempt exercises beyond their current fitness/skill level.
How long does it take to recover from physiotherapy?
This varies depending on the injury and how well you respond to treatment. However, most Crossfitters report a significant reduction in pain and improved function from soft tissue damage between six and eight weeks. If you have an orthopaedic injury, it may take longer to heal. In general, we will work with you until you have regained your pre-injury level of function.
