SPORTS THERAPY FOR FIGHTERS

Fighting puts huge demands on the body. It’s not just about training hard, it’s about keeping your body ready to perform, recover and handle the demands of competition.

At Peak Pro, we work with fighters to support:

✅️ Injury Prevention

Identify areas of weakness, restriction or overload before they become bigger problems.

✅️ Muscle Recovery

Help manage muscular soreness and fatigue following hard sessions, sparring and competition.

✅️ Mobility & Movement

Maintain the movement your body needs for kicking, punching, grappling, footwork and defensive positions.

✅️ Performance Preparation

Prepare the body for training and competition so you can perform at your best.

✅️ Injury Management

Support your return to training following muscular and soft-tissue injuries, working within the appropriate clinical pathway when further assessment is required.

✅️ Pre & Post-Fight Recovery

From getting you competition-ready to helping your body recover afterwards, treatment can be tailored around your training and fight schedule.

Your body is your equipment. Look after it.

Heard someone say they have a rotator cuff injury, or think you might have one?

Find out what the rotator cuff actually is.....

The rotator cuff isn’t one muscle, it’s a group of 4 muscles that work together to control and stabilise your shoulder.

💪 Supraspinatus

💪 Infraspinatus

💪 Teres Minor

💪 Subscapularis

Each has a different role, but together they help keep your shoulder moving efficiently and under control.

Understanding the problem is the first step towards treating it properly.

Save this post for your next shoulder session and drop us a message for those shoudler niggles that just wont go away...

⚽ 3 COMMON FOOTBALL INJURIES AND HOW TO HELP PREVENT THEM

Football involves sprinting, sudden changes of direction, jumping, kicking and contact — all of which place high demands on the body.

Here are 3 common injuries footballers need to be aware of:

1️⃣ HAMSTRING STRAINS
Fast sprinting and explosive movements can put significant load through the hamstrings.

Help reduce your risk:
• Build sprint speed gradually
• Strengthen the hamstrings — especially with eccentric exercises such as Nordic curls
• Don't neglect your warm-up
• Manage training and match load

2️⃣ ANKLE SPRAINS
Tackles, landing, changes of direction and uneven contact can all put the ankle at risk.

Help reduce your risk:
• Train balance and single-leg stability
• Strengthen the lower leg and calf
• Practise controlled changes of direction
• Include stability exercises in your warm-up

3️⃣ KNEE INJURIES
Football places considerable demands on the knee through cutting, deceleration, jumping and landing.

Help reduce your risk:
• Strengthen your quads, hamstrings and glutes
• Improve landing and deceleration technique
• Train single-leg control
• Include for example lateral lunges in your warm-up

💡 THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY

Don't wait until you're injured to start preparing your body.

Strength + conditioning + appropriate warm-up + load management = better preparation for the demands of football.

At Peak Pro Sports Therapy, we can help you identify weaknesses, manage niggles and keep you performing at your best.

WHY DOESN’T PEAK PRO OFFER CUPPING?

Cupping is popular — but popularity isn't the same as evidence.

The latest research suggests dry cupping may provide short-term pain relief, but the evidence remains very uncertain, particularly when compared with placebo/sham cupping.

There’s also no convincing evidence that cupping physically “releases fascia”, breaks down adhesions or removes toxins.

We're not saying cupping is useless.

We're saying the evidence isn't strong enough for us to prioritise it.

At Peak Pro, we choose treatments based on evidence, purpose and your goals.

Evidence over trends. 🧠💪
