Sports and Exercise Medicine is a new speciality concerned with the care of the recreational and elite athlete.  The service is provided by Dr Daniel Baron and Dr Stephen Motto and the City Sports Clinic provide a team of highly experienced Physiotherapists.  Our aim is to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate all sports and musculoskeletal injuries.  We feel that the correct diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation go a long way in preventing further injuries. 

All the doctors and physiotherapists have substantial experience working with numerous sports at all levels.  We are able to use a variety of state of the art imaging techniques and blood tests available within the hospital. 

We developed specific interest in the following areas:

• The management of lower back pain
• Medical acupuncture treatment
• Chronic tendon injuries
• Exertional compartment syndrome and compartment pressure testing ( Dr S Motto)
• The management of football and rugby injuries
• Utilisation of a number of injection techniques
• Knee  ligament injuries and specific measurements using the KT1000 Device (Dr D Baron)
• We can also help regarding advice about sports related matters such as overtraining, exercise induced asthma etc.

We are currently using a number of newer treatment techniques including Extracorporal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT), Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy, and a new treatment for traumatic osteitis pubis for groin injuries.

We have developed numerous contacts with other sports and exercise specialists and sometimes refer to a number of our Orthopaedic Surgeons who know about sport.  Many of us are also involved in teaching both undergraduates and postgraduates. 

Whether you have an injury on the sports field or in the work place our common aim is to help you win and get back to training or work as soon as possible.
