Sports Injury
How injured people who are active and play sport can get back to being fit, from frustrating sports injuries that stop you in your tracks
Sports Injury
If you’ve just suffered from a strain or sprain whilst playing sport or an active hobby and you need to understand what you’ve done and how long it will take, then you’re in the right place. We look at the big picture and all the things that contribute to the problem. Not only that, we then consider your whole body movement and health, which means we can work towards being more robust than you were before the injury.
We’ve all had sports injuries ourselves, so know how frustrating it can be when you’re taken out of action. We’ll use our knowledge to give you the best advice, hangs on therapy and treatment programme to get you back on track as soon as we can.
You can phone to speak to reception or click the book button below to schedule yourself in our diary.
Once we’ve booked you in we will determine the root cause behind the symptoms, and then plan the treatment approach that we feel will get you back to being active as quick as we can.

Free Taster Session
Over the 40 years of helping people make decisions about their health, we know that trying to find the right place to get help is tough. There is the question as to whether it will work, or the uncertainty if it helps your specific problem. We have heard people having bad experiences too, which can be off-putting. We have therefore created the taster session, which is a free 20 minutes session to have questions answered. Fill in the short form following the link below:
How Are You Going To Help Me With My Particular Sports Injury?
The Physios start treatment quickly to work on taking away the pain and stiffness
Importantly at the end of the assessment you will find out what’s really going on, and get to the root cause of your injury once and for all
Your confidence will return as the physio will work with you to ensure that your problem is “corrected” and “healed” properly – and we will provide you with the perfect set of exercises that will speed up your recovery
The plan will definitely be to help you put an end to needing to take all of those painkillers which are obviously not very good for your long-term health
All of our patient’s want to avoid the GP’s waiting room where you’ll be told to “rest” again…
Our priority will be getting back to enjoying quality time with family and friends that your injury has taken from you…
Recovering the simple things of walking, and moving freely, without worrying if the pain is going to get worse and stop you in your tracks
Everyone wants to avoid more risky surgery – and painful injections too!
Basically… the Physiotherapy Team at The Wimborne Clinic can help you get back to living life free from daily, annoying and frustrating Sports Injuries, and return to the exercise you love

Posted on Andrew CorkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard has been treating me since 2001 (believe it or not) and he's brilliant. Basically you go along to see him with a problem, and he makes it better. Maybe it takes a few visits and it certainly takes some work on my part. But there hasn't been a physio need that I've had that he hasn't solved. He's particularly good at sorting me out when I end up doing stupid things to myself skiing. I've lost count of the no of times he has fixed me up! Thanks so much Richard!Posted on Rosa BaroneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I felt a lot better from the first appointment. Juliette was lovely.Posted on Elaine UrmsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

After trying to get a physio appt in Blandford, and getting no responses at all from emails or voice messages sent to local businesses, Richard Goddard at the The Wimborne Clinic was recommended to me by a friend. I contacted the clinic and their response was immediate. An appointment was made and Richard immediately identified the problem, started treatment and gave me exercises to do between appointments. Very impressed overall, and I can definitely recommend Richard, and the Wimborne Clinic, to anyone in the Blandford or Wimborne area.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
