Rehabilitation
A Sports Rehabilitator is a hybrid specialist in the field of injury prevention and rehabilitation. He or she is highly skilled in providing a range of techniques and individually tailored treatment strategies to encourage optimal participation in the client’s chosen activity.

Life today is strenuous and places our bodies under large amounts of physical stress exposing us to the risk of injury. Injuries are also often associated with physical activities and sport, and can range from nagging back pain or niggling knee pain to more acute injuries sustained on the sports field.
At Motive8 we offer the best advice and treatment from a sports medicine professional on both preventative and rehabilitative programmes tailored to suit the specific needs as a competitive athlete or recreational exerciser. Our Sports Rehabilitators have a minimum degree standard knowledge of both injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Prevention
At Motive8 our Sports Rehabilitators will assist clients to maintain a high level of performance whilst minimizing the risk of potential illness or injury. A broad foundation of patho-physiological and medical knowledge coupled with excellent communication skills mean the Rehabilitator can recognize potential risks associated with injury and educate the client so that they are aware of any problems whilst also implementing a specific intervention plan.

Treatment and Rehabilitation
Motive8 Sports Rehabilitators have the knowledge and skills to recognise, evaluate and assess injury status and thus determine the appropriate plan of treatment. The return to performance is mediated via Injury Rehabilitation sessions including a combination of corrective exercise regimes massage, hydrotherapy, postural re-education; Pilates based exercise and ultrasound/interferential modalities, depending upon the individual’s needs.

An individual programme is designed to promote pain-free movement, increased strength, flexibility and balance. Regular programme review and continual goal setting ensures the Motive8 client remains motivated and determined to return to training. The Motive8 specialist supplies constant support and personal attention during the session to ensure correct exercise technique and maximize the potential for a safe and effective recovery.
