Sports Injury Physiotherapy at Home in Dorset

Local Physiotherapist — Ewan Mackie, Dorset

Mobile physiotherapist providing home physiotherapy visits across Dorset

From runners on the Jurassic Coast to tennis and rugby players across the county, sports injuries are common and often frustrating. Home physiotherapy gets you assessed quickly and moving again with a clear plan, without the wait for a clinic appointment.

Common sports injuries we treat

Ewan provides musculoskeletal and sports injury rehabilitation at home across Dorset for injuries including:

  • Muscle strains and tears — hamstring, calf, quadriceps and groin
  • Ligament sprains — ankle, knee (including MCL and ACL rehabilitation)
  • Tendon problems — Achilles, patellar and rotator cuff tendinopathy
  • Overuse injuries — runner's knee, shin splints and tennis elbow
  • Joint pain limiting training or return to sport

How assessment and treatment works

Treatment starts with a thorough assessment: movement analysis, strength and flexibility testing, and hands-on examination to identify not just the injury but the factors that caused it. From there, Ewan builds a staged programme that typically combines:

  • Manual therapy — soft tissue and joint techniques to reduce pain and restore movement
  • Sports massage — Ewan holds an ITEC Level 3 Sports Massage qualification and offers soft tissue therapy to ease tightness and aid recovery
  • Progressive exercise — strengthening and mobility work loaded appropriately for your stage of healing
  • Return-to-sport planning — a graded progression back to training and competition, with advice on load management to prevent re-injury

Why treat a sports injury at home?

Home rehabilitation lets Ewan see how you actually train and move, and gives you a programme you can carry out in your own space. For busy people juggling work, family and sport, cutting out clinic travel makes it far easier to stay consistent — and consistency is what drives recovery.

Who we help

  • Recreational and competitive athletes across Dorset recovering from acute injury
  • Runners, cyclists and gym-goers with overuse or training-related pain
  • People returning to sport after a fracture or ligament injury
