CrossFit and Hyrox place unique and varied demands on participants’ bodies. From Olympic weight lifting, running and gymnastics to endurance, plyometrics and speed, they are all represented in these sports.
Common injuries include:
- sprains and strains
- trauma
- joint injuries
- spinal injuries
- shoulder injuries
- fractures
- dislocations
- overuse injuries
To successfully treat these injuries, it is essential to understand the movements involved and the necessary movement standards.
Our physiotherapists have either participated in either of these sports themselves or have a background in weightlifting.
We know how to get these athletes better (hobbyist or professional) and can advise how to continue training whilst recovering from an injury. We can also develop strength and conditioning programmes to work on any weaknesses or components of the sport that need improvement. Running is a large component of both sports and so athletes will usually benefit from our ‘Running Gait Analysis’ service too.
Also, we have access to all the latest equipment to treat these injuries quickly and successfully, including the K Laser machine and shockwave therapy.
Most people with CrossFit or Hyrox injuries will require an initial consultation followed by 6 – 10 follow ups. These will usually take place over a 12-week period.
