Welcome to sports physiotherapy, both fitness enthusiasts and competitive athletes alike! Book an appointment here.
Sports physiotherapy is suitable for all exercisers with a goal:
- fitness enthusiasts who want to become better in their hobby and find time to exercise and recover in the middle of busy everyday life
- anyone planning to start exercising who wants a safe and motivating start to an active lifestyle
- competitive athletes who want to succeed in their sport and
- competitive, developing young people to support their coaching.
Our sports physiotherapists are here to support you and help you achieve your goals in exercise and sports.
Sports physiotherapy should be started even before any challenges arise as it helps prevent stress injuries and progress as a physically active person.
Here is how Mehiläinen's sports physiotherapists can help you:
- Training programme. We will prepare a personalised training programme with you to increase the physical effort and develop various areas in an ideal way.
- Recovery. The balance of exercise, rest and nutrition is important, especially for physically active people, who have a lot more in their lives than just sports. We take your situation into account holistically and provide advice on recovery and nutrition.
- Muscle balance exercises and mobility assessments. You will always receive personal feedback and individually designed exercises. They allow you to correct any deficiencies in body control and muscle balance that can expose you to stress injuries.
- Movement and body control exercises. We will help you find the right ways of movement to ensure that you can progress safely in your sport.
Injuries, stress injuries or pain do not need to undermine your active lifestyle and goals as an athlete.
For example, if your shoulder becomes painful while playing golf or if your Achilles tendon has been operated on, we can help you to return to your beloved sport.
- Substitute and maintenance exercises. To begin with, your physiotherapist will plan exercises for you that can be performed while the injury is still fresh.
- Increasing the physical effort. As you recover, easy exercises will be used to restore your muscle strength and functional capacity.
- Return to Sports training programme. When returning to your sport, a carefully planned, increasingly demanding 4–6 week training programme is carried out. After this, you can safely return to normal training.
You should not quit rehabilitation halfway through as it increases the risk of the injury recurring immediately.

Sports physiotherapy develops the athlete's functional capacity and health in an optimal way, reduces the risk of injury and rehabilitates the athlete to return to their sport after an stress injury or another type of injury.
Sports physiotherapy is suitable for everyone who has goals for their physical activity. Fitness enthusiasts especially benefit from a training programme prepared by a sports physiotherapist, which makes it easy to balance increasingly demanding training and recovery with busy everyday life.
We also help you start exercising safely after a long break.
The aim of sports physiotherapy is to enable you to develop in your own sport. The demands of your sport are always taken into account in sports physiotherapy. We also work closely together with clubs and coaches.
After an injury, a sports physiotherapist will prepare you an individual rehabilitation programme that allows you to return to your own sport.
Sport-specific demands are taken into account in the programme and the physical effort is increased slowly, as long as the road to recovery progresses.
