You’re halfway through your 10K training plan and feeling great… until your knee starts acting up.
It’s not exactly painful — just annoying enough to slow you down. You try to power through, but one day, it gives out while climbing stairs at the MRT.
Sound familiar?
Whether you’re logging miles around Marina Bay, pushing for a new PR at the gym, or just enjoying your regular HIIT class — injuries can happen to anyone. When they do, you need more than just rest and ice. You need expert support.
That’s where a sports physiotherapist comes in.
What Exactly Does a Sports Physiotherapist Do?
Think of us as movement specialists. Sports physiotherapists are trained health professionals who not only treat injuries, but also help you prevent them and perform at your best.
We don’t just tell you to “rest.” We get to know your sport, your goals, and your training habits. Then, we tailor a plan to help you adapt, recover, and come back stronger.
At Physio & Sole Clinic, our experienced sports physios regularly help:
- Runners training for marathons and Parkruns
- Athletes recovering from orthopaedic surgeries
- CrossFitters and gym goers with traumatic or overuse injuries
- Footballers recovering from ankle sprains or hamstring pulls
- Active adults dealing with recurring aches while juggling work, life and fitness
Whether you’re an amateur athlete or just someone who wants to stay active and pain-free, we’ve got your back (and knees… and shoulders).
Not Injured — But Something Feels “Off”?
Maybe your hamstrings tighten up by your third squat set. Or your shoulder nags after a few overhead presses. Or your knees swell up after a long hike at MacRitchie.
These are signs that your body isn’t moving optimally — and a sports physio can help. We work with you to:
- Identify and treat the root cause of pain
- Improve your mobility, strength, and form
- Design safe return-to-sport plans
- Prevent recurring injuries
- Enhance your performance with smart movement strategies
Our goal is simple: help you move better so you can train harder, longer, and with confidence.
Common Sports Injuries We Treat
We see a wide range of injuries — from first-time strains to long-term overuse issues. Some common ones include:
Lower Body:
- Runner’s knee (patellofemoral pain)
- IT band syndrome
- Shin splints
- Achilles tendinopathy
- Hamstring or calf strains
- Plantar fasciitis
- Ankle sprains and instability
Upper Body:
- Rotator cuff problems
- Shoulder impingement
- Tennis or golfer’s elbow
- Wrist strains from gym or racket sports
Other Conditions:
- Lower back pain from lifting or posture
- Stress fractures from overtraining
- Post-surgery recovery (e.g. ACL and meniscus repair, lateral ankle ligament reconstruction, rotator cuff repair)
- Chronic tightness or recurring niggles
If you’ve been putting up with discomfort or limitations, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Can Sports Physio Boost My Performance?
Absolutely. Sports physiotherapy isn’t just for injury recovery — it’s also about performance optimisation.
We help you to:
- Analyse your running, lifting, or movement patterns
- Improve joint mobility and control
- Build strength tailored to your sport
- Fix inefficiencies before they cause problems
- Reduce injury risk during high training loads
We also offer prehabilitation programs — kind of like preventive maintenance — to keep your body strong before race season or heavy training.
When Should I See a Sports Physio?
The earlier, the better.
You don’t have to wait until something “gives way.” If you’re noticing stiffness, fatigue, or soreness that just won’t go away — it’s time to get checked.
In fact, many clients come in before any pain starts. That’s the power of proactive care.

Real story: Joel, 35, Amateur Runner
Joel came in limping after his last 10K. His left knee started hurting at the 6 km mark and never fully recovered.
After a full biomechanical assessment, we discovered the issue wasn’t his knee — it was weak glutes and poor foot mechanics.
With tailored rehab, running technique adjustments, and custom orthotics, Joel was pain-free in 6 weeks… and just smashed a new personal best!
