Sports Physiotherapy in Coffs Harbour
The Coffs Coast is a sporting community — surf clubs, rugby, football, netball, running groups and CrossFit boxes on every corner. Sports physiotherapy at Tidal Motion gets injured athletes back on the field, in the water or on the pavement with a plan built around performance, not just pain relief.
We treat everyone from junior representative players and Coffs Coast Sports Fest competitors to social athletes and masters-level runners. The principle is the same: identify the tissue at fault, calm it down, then load it back up so it can handle what your sport asks of it.
Return-to-sport isn't a moment — it's a criteria-based progression. We use objective testing (strength ratios, hop tests, sport-specific drills) so you know when you're actually ready, not just when the pain has settled.
Sports injuries we treat
How we work with you
-
1
Injury diagnosis
Clinical assessment plus objective testing so you know exactly what's injured and how significant it is.
-
2
Acute management
Pain and swelling control, movement restoration, early loading — the modern approach, not weeks of rest.
-
3
Strength and conditioning phase
Progressive rehab in the gym or clinic to rebuild the capacity your sport demands.
-
4
Return-to-sport testing
Objective clearance criteria before you go back — this is what dramatically reduces re-injury risk.
Funding & rebates
Private health extras (HICAPS), NDIS, DVA, and workers compensation. Sport-specific rehab is generally not covered by Medicare unless part of a CDM plan.
