SPORTS CHIROPRACTIC & REHABILITATION IN TOWNSVILLE
Assessment and rehabilitation for lifters, athletes and active people who want a clear plan for returning to training.
Dr Trevor Smyth (Chiropractor) works with powerlifters, strongman athletes, weightlifters and recreational strength athletes. Care begins with an individual history and physical assessment. Recommendations may include hands-on care, exercise rehabilitation, load modification and communication with your coach or other health professionals when appropriate.
COMMON REASONS ATHLETES BOOK
People commonly consult us about back or neck pain, shoulder, hip or knee concerns, muscle strains, tendon-related pain, returning after injury or surgery, training-load questions and preparing for the demands of their sport. We do not promise a particular result. Recommendations depend on your assessment, goals and clinical needs.
A TRAINING-AWARE APPROACH
Stopping all training is not automatically the answer. Where clinically appropriate, Dr Trevor Smyth (Chiropractor) can help identify movements that are currently tolerable, modify volume or intensity, and progressively rebuild capacity. If imaging, medical review or another practitioner is indicated, referral will be discussed.
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
Your initial chiropractic appointment allows time to discuss your symptoms, training history, goals and relevant medical information. Dr Trevor Smyth (Chiropractor) will complete an assessment, explain the findings and discuss suitable options. Treatment is provided only where appropriate and with your consent.
WHAT TO BRING
Bring your current training program, useful lifting videos, upcoming competition dates, and any relevant imaging or medical information.
SPORTS REHABILITATION AND STRENGTH COACHING
Clinical care and strength coaching are separate services. Chiropractic rehabilitation may focus on symptoms, movement and graded return to activity. Strength Coaching focuses on building general strength and training skill. We will explain which pathway is appropriate for you.
