Sports Physiotherapist in Essendon
When an injury interrupts training, having a clear plan matters. Our sports physiotherapist in Essendon provides physiotherapy-led sports injury assessment and guided return-to-sport planning tailored to your activity and current capacity. This service is designed for athletes and active people who want structured support for injury management, movement restoration, and returning to training or competition.
Sports physiotherapy at Inline Health Chiropractic considers how your symptoms relate to training loads, movement patterns, and the demands of your sport. While your plan may include guided exercise progressions, care is led by physiotherapy assessment and clinical reasoning, rather than a general exercise-only approach.
What Sports Physiotherapy Involves
Appointments may include a clinical assessment of symptoms and movement, guidance on activity modifications, and a plan to support participation goals. Where appropriate, care may also include hands-on physiotherapy techniques to support mobility and tissue function as part of a broader strategy.

Our Sports Physiotherapy Team
Sports physiotherapy services are delivered by qualified physiotherapists, with a focus on sports injury assessment, injury management, and return-to-sport support. Mr Sujan Khanal is a physiotherapist currently undertaking a Master’s in Sports Physiotherapy, with involvement in sports injury assessment, care planning, and return-to-sport decision-making.
Care is provided within a multidisciplinary environment, with sports chiropractors available as part of the wider team when appropriate.
Our Approach to Care
Your care begins with an assessment-led understanding of what’s contributing to your symptoms and movement limitations. From there, your physiotherapist will outline practical next steps based on your goals and current capacity, which may include load guidance, progressive strengthening or control work, and sport-specific planning. Progress is reviewed over time so recommendations can be adjusted as your function and tolerance change.
