Let us help you
- Resolve pain
- Reach fitness goals
- Get back to doing what you love
Sound good? Through our guidance here at Pro-Am you will learn to understand what your limitations are (especially whilst recovering from injury) and how you can improve your posture, pain and ultimately your confidence to move (something pain can really interfere with)
How is Pro-Am different?
We have time to listen to you and explain how you can get better. What sets us apart is the knowledge we instill in our clients that you can use to address issues that may arise, throughout your life. We show how muscles and body parts work and connect.
Current healthcare over complicates diagnosis and rehabilitation and thrives on prescribing pills. I find many clients do not want this. Here at Pro-Am we teach fun and simple exercises to get you moving and pain free.
It is important to understand at the end of the day nobody can address the root cause of your issues except you. The majority of peoples imbalances, misalignment and pain occur not from one single event but years of micro traumas, stress, poor posture/technique and genetics. There may have been one single episode you felt something go but the likely hood is, it was building for quite some time and it was just the breaking point (which is why I hear often the typical ‘I am getting old’ excuse).
At Pro-Am we help you take back control of your body and life by improving the way you move through exercise and life. When you feel good you move more because it gives you energy and freedom.
We would all like a quick fix to our problems but reality is, there isn’t. Even as a therapist my participation in the hammer throw has taken it’s toll on my body and only now in my 30’s when pain and dysfunction has affected my performance do I appreciate the need for recovery and exercises to combat the repetitive nature of my sport and life. It is so important to look beyond the training and performance specific to your sport and look after the body as a whole for life and longevity.
Our goals
- Improve body awareness
- Gain strength
- Improve flexibility
- Reduce and restore pain and injuries
When injury strikes we are here to help you understand the cause. An injury consult will involve assessing movement and dysfunction which will then guide any soft tissue work and exercises. The most important part of injury recovery is finding the right exercises and level of load to allow recovery and reduce irritation on painful structures. Follow ups are there to progress exercises at the right time, we do this by having extensive knowledge in tissue healing phases and pain science. We also guide our exercises towards the type of activities or sport you partake in.
When not injured we recommend a monthly check in to get the most benefit out of our services. Our usual maintenance session will include soft tissue treatment to specific areas which just naturally take there toll in your life. A bonus, is it makes you feel better too! Then we will go through some exercises which help you specifically move and feel better. The most important part, we give you some simple exercises to do at home which can easily slot into your routine to help maintain and give consistency (Usually 4-8 exercises to mobilise, stretch, activate and combine these 3 with a functional exercise). Plus our current clients say it gives them a great motivational boost by having regular sessions. We constantly adapt and change treatment and exercises to suit your current life stresses and we find exercise variety is the key to consistent health.

Introduction
Pro-Am Sports Injury Clinic promotes and improves total body health by quickly addressing the cause of your injury with a holistical approach, individual to each patients goals.
Who we treat? Everyone, regardless of whether you are involved in sport or not. Our role is to assess, treat and rehabilitate your aches and pains and get you back to the activities you need and love to do. Getting you back moving is the key to getting you better.
If you are involved in sport then we can take your rehabilitation that step further and get you back into your sport, aswell as design a preventative strategy.
Not sure what a Sports Therapist is? Well our training is very similar to a physiotherapist apart from we specialise in musculoskeletal (muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints) from the start, for 3 years at university. This means we spend time learning hands on muscle testing, soft tissue treatments and functional movement assessment and exercise selection.
Whether your aim is to reduce pain, increase range of motion and mobility (to enable pain free daily living) or perhaps improve at your chosen sport, we can help.

Exercise and Massage
Professional athletes training programmes have cycles of increasing volume and intensity and then decreasing back down to aid repair and recovery. Our bodies can not be pushed continually, this is when it starts to break, combine this with massage to flush the system and they feel fresh for there next block of training. Massage is part of every professional athletes training program but we also work just as hard in our jobs/exercise/hobbies and life so why don’t more people take advantage of what massage has to offer. You get your hair cut which helps keep it in good condition, why not a massage for your muscles which help you get around?
We are all told that exercise is important for the body to stay mobile and strong and it is but sometimes our daily stresses make us feel less inclined to exercise as we feel tired and achy. During these times exercise can actually add to that stress and tip our nervous system into survival mode which can then affect our sleep, hormones and our systems can become sluggish which can lead to an increase in toxins in the body. How do you remedy this, one, you can decrease the volume and intensity of your exercise (yin yoga or yoga with twists for detox) or you can have a massage.
The effects of massage have that feel good factor exercise gives you without you having g to get a sweat on or put any effort in. I am not saying to ditch exercise but once a month having a massage to help re-charge the bodies systems, can stop the build up of toxins by helping our circulation and lymphatic system.
Just like a machine our response times can slow, things may miscommunicate and get cluttered. What do we do with a printer not wanting to print, we power down and reset it. Massage can do this for the body.
However just like exercise those first few sessions may make you feel a little heavy and sluggish as your systems needs time to adjust. Massage is more beneficial if you have one regularly. Maintainance is far easier if kept on top of than it is to ignore and then only attend to it when damaged.
Many of my clients say that there first few sessions were a little uncomfortable but then they soon quickly became really relaxing and really notice the difference when they have to delay an appointment (we have seen alot of this due to covid).
So if you find your self out of balance, not sleeping well finding exercise harder than usual maybe its time for a re-set.
A monthly massage that can re-charge your body is the best approach. Here at Pro-Am we have some great health scheme offers to help keep you committed to your health and well being. Get signed up before 20th December for a fresh start in 2022 and before our prices go up.
Special Offers for November/December. Why not give someone the gift of health.
