Athlete Matters is based at Worsley Physio Clinic located in Manchester. We currently look after several international class athletes on a regular basis, offering prompt management of sports injuries to deal with the problem before it escalates. We also use a prehabilitative approach, whereby we apply physiotherapy treatment techniques with the aim of maintaining fitness to train and compete, and to avoid injuries.

Should you be in the unfortunate position of being injured, we will aim to treat the source of the problem that is giving rise to your symptoms, usually with a hands on approach and teach exercises to relieve or improve your condition long term.We use Pilates principles in our approach including the use of our Pilates reformer

Naturally, you do not want your training to be disrupted by an injury. In light of this, we also offer a 'prehabilitation' service involving an assessment of your sports performance and movement patterns to prescribe a corrective exercise programme and apply soft tissue techniques aimed at injury prevention and enhancement of performance. Athletes taking up this service have the option to have continued use of our facilities.

We also run several classes in our exercise gym area on a weekly basis aimed at enhancing core stability, increasing cardio vascular fitness and developing power.
This type of training as used by elite athletes such as the Ethiopian distance runners is thought to be important for injury prevention and enhanced performance. Please contact us for further details.

This includes the London Marathon, and European clubs Cross Country, Commonwealth Games and Grand Prix circuit, World Championships and Olympic Games as athletes.
