Combat Sports

Combat sports pose a unique challenge for many Physiotherapists, the major one being they don’t truly understand the sport their patient is participating in. Furthemore, many Physiotherapists don’t fully understand the complex movements and positions that are required, all whilst being under immense aerobic and anaerobic load.

At The Physio Bunker, we are lucky to have an in depth insight into the world of combat sports. Our Principal Physiotherapist, Kiarn, used to represent Australia (for a period of around 15 years) in Judo. Kiarn has been around the world as an athlete representing her country and was also a coach for several years. She has also dabbled in wrestling and recreational Muay Thai. Kiarn has shared her wealth of personal and professional experience in combat sports with the team at The Physio Bunker, so you can confidently see any of the team knowing they understand your sporting requirements. 

Some of the most common combat athletes we treat come from:

We treat every person as an individual and try our best to find ways to keep you training or competing. It is rare that we need to tell you to stop training all together. We understand the importance of your training and only disrupt that is absolutely essential.
