Sports medicine

The sports physician assesses injuries and overuse complaints in athletes of every level: from runners and cyclists to footballers and dancers. We look for the cause behind the complaint and help you return to your sport safely.

Clear diagnosis · return-to-sport plan · close cooperation

Our approach

Our sports physician combines a careful examination with ultrasound in the treatment room and, where needed, further imaging. That way you quickly know what is going on.

Together with our sports physiotherapists we make a plan that fits your goals, whether that is a marathon in the spring or simply playing football with your children again.

What we treat

Assessment

Sports medical examination
A complete examination of heart, lungs and musculoskeletal system before you start a new sport or competition season.
Ultrasound in the treatment room
Direct imaging of tendons, muscles and joints, so treatment can start right away.

Common injuries

Running injuries
Shin splints, runner's knee and Achilles complaints, treated with load management and targeted exercises.
Tendon complaints
Long-standing tendon pain around the knee, hip, elbow or ankle, with an evidence-based programme.
Stress fractures
Early recognition and a careful build-up, so the bone gets time to heal.

How it works

  1. Referral

    For insured care at Harbour Clinic you need a referral. Your GP, company doctor or treating specialist can arrange this for you.

    You meet your specialist in person. Together you map out the complaint and discuss which tests are needed.

  3. Diagnosis and plan

    You get an explanation in plain language, and a treatment plan you agree with before we go any further.

  4. Treatment and aftercare

    The same specialist carries out the treatment and sees you again at every check-up.
