About Us
The Sports Injury Clinic at Carrefour Health and Beauty in Costessey, Norwich, Norfolk, has now been established for over 4 years. Set-up and run by Graduate Sports Rehabilitator Heidi Mills, it has continued to grow and develop a large following of satisfied, regular clients. Services offered include Sports injury treatment and rehabilitation, Sports massage (deep tissue massage) and Personal Training.
Sports rehabilitation focuses on treating the cause of an injury. This requires a full injury assessment to determine the cause of the pain and what other factors may be contributing. Postural issues and movement patterns play a large part in many injuries. Treatment programmes then focus on correcting these underlying problems, as well as treating the initial injury.
Set within the treatment rooms at the health club, the service is available to both members and non-members alike. Full use of the gym is also available during appointments if required.
Appointments are currently available:
Mondays 3pm-8pm
Thursdays 3pm-8pm
Further times may be available in the near future.

About Sports Rehabilitation
The Sports Rehabilitation profession is relatively new, with the first graduates qualifying from St Mary's in 1997. The profession has grown considerably, with several other institutions in the UK and Ireland now offering a BASRaT accredited course.
So what is a Sports Rehabilitator? Well, the official answer is:
a graduate level autonomous healthcare practitioner specialising in musculoskeletal management, exercise based rehabilitation and fitness What this means, is the treatment of musculoskeletal (muscle, tendon, ligament, joint and back) pain and injuries, with an emphasis on returning the individual back to their pre-injury state as quickly as possible and ideally, even fitter and stronger than before!
The profession is very similar to sports therapy, although is better regulated as all rehabilitators are degree educated. A sports therapist may not have such a high level of education.
