Sports Physio in Marple
Whether you're a weekend warrior, a dedicated athlete, or someone who simply loves staying active, sports injuries can be incredibly frustrating. Our specialist sports physiotherapy service is designed to help you recover fully, safely, and as quickly as possible.

Introduction
Whether you've pulled a hamstring at five-a-side, your knee's grumbling halfway through marathon training, or your shoulder keeps flaring up at the gym, an injury that stops you doing your sport is frustrating. Sports physio isn't just for elite athletes. It's for anyone who wants to get back to being active, from parkrunners and weekend golfers to club footballers and gym regulars. At Complete Recovery Physiotherapy in Marple we'll work out what's wrong, get you training again as soon as it's safe, and help you come back stronger. We see people from Marple, Stockport, Romiley, Hazel Grove, High Lane and Disley.

Common Sports Injuries We Treat
Running Injuries
Runner's knee, shin splints, Achilles and plantar fasciitis, ITB pain and calf strains, usually from building mileage or pace too quickly. We look at your training load, strength and, where useful, how you run, and aim to keep you running in a modified way while you recover.
Injured and Desperate to Get Back?
Book your assessment today. We'll get you training again as soon as it's safe, and help you come back stronger.
Your First Appointment
Your first appointment is 45 minutes. We'll talk about the injury, your sport, your training and any upcoming events. Then we'll examine the injured area and how you move, explain what's going on, and start treatment the same day.
How We Treat It
Hands-on treatment where it helps, a strengthening programme matched to the demands of your sport, and a clear return-to-sport plan with milestones, so you know when it's safe to run, jump, change direction or play again. Where possible, we'll keep you training in a modified way rather than stopping completely.
Everything You Need to Know Before Booking
No GP referral needed. Direct access appointments available — often same-day or within a few days.
What Happens at Your First Appointment
Your first session is a 45-minute comprehensive assessment. We start by listening — understanding your symptoms, your history, and what you want to get back to. We then carry out a thorough hands-on physical examination to identify the root cause of your problem. You'll receive a clear explanation of what's going on, a personalised treatment plan, and hands-on treatment begins in that very first session. You leave knowing exactly what's wrong, what we'll do about it, and how long recovery will take.
What Should I Wear?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area we're treating. For knee, hip, or leg problems, shorts are ideal. For shoulder, neck, or back issues, a loose top or vest works well. You'll never be asked to undress beyond what's necessary for examination and treatment, and you'll always be treated with dignity and respect in our private treatment room.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
This depends on your condition, how long you've had it, and your goals. Many patients feel significant improvement within 3–6 sessions. Acute injuries often resolve faster, while long-standing or complex conditions may need more. We'll give you a clear treatment timeline at your first appointment — and we only ever recommend sessions you genuinely need. Our goal is to get you independent and pain-free as quickly as possible, not to keep you coming back.
Can I Claim Through Insurance?
Yes. We are recognised by most major health insurance providers including AXA, Vitality, Bupa, WPA, and Healix. We can bill your insurer directly so you don't need to pay upfront — simply bring your insurance authorisation number to your appointment. If you're not sure whether you're covered, call us and we'll help you check before you book.
