At Borders Physio and Sports Injury Centre, we have extensive knowledge and experience in assessing and treating sports injuries.

Whether you have been injured whilst playing high level sport or during recreational activity, the physiotherapists at Borders Physio and Sports Injury Centre will be able to design you a full rehabilitation programme to help you get back to full fitness.

Our emphasis is to return you to your sport as soon as possible, and to provide you with as much information as possible about the mechanism of injury and how to prevent it recurring. We also work closely with orthopaedic consultants and leading specialist surgeons.
We also compliment our hands on approach and rehabilitation and exercise expertise with a hydrotherapy facility. Whilst we are working with you on your recovery, you can continue to exercise in their warm water pool where we provide sports specific exercise in water, aqua running, walking or swimming.
