Rugby Injury Physiotherapy in Hamilton

Active Health Waikato

Injuries might be part of the game – but staying stuck with them doesn’t have to be. At Active Health Hamilton, we help rugby players recover properly, return confidently, and perform without second-guessing their body.

Whether it’s a shoulder that won’t stay in place, a knee that doesn’t feel stable, or a hammy that keeps flaring up – we’re here to help you get back to your best.

Common Rugby Injuries We Treat

  • Shoulder dislocations and instability
  • ACL, MCL, and meniscus injuries
  • Hamstring strains and calf tears
  • Lower back pain from repeated contact or poor mobility
  • Ongoing ankle sprains and joint instability

What’s Holding Your Recovery Back?

You might’ve been told to “just rest it” or “strap it and see how it goes”—but that’s not a plan.

Without the right rehab, rugby injuries keep coming back—just at the worst possible time. What we see all the time:

  • Players returning too soon because pain is low—but strength is still poor
  • Confusion about what to do: gym? tape? ice?
  • Lack of game-specific rehab that actually prepares your body for contact
  • Hesitation before tackles, scrums, or explosive movements
  • Constant tightness, stiffness, or re-injury that’s draining your confidence

 

Don’t Let Injury End Your Season Early

If you’re a school player, club player, or seasoned veteran—now’s the time to act. Rugby demands more than rest. Let’s rebuild your performance properly.

  • Return to full strength
  • Avoid the re-injury cycle
  • Train and play with confidence
