The Sports Injury and Rehabilitation Clinic (SIRC) provides effective and affordable healthcare to University of Northampton staff, students and our surrounding community.
Our clinic is serviced by our BASRaT-accredited Sport Rehabilitation and Conditioning degree students, with practice overseen by our fully-qualified clinic supervisor to ensure that safe and professional standards and practice is maintained. The students providing services within this clinic are trained in delivering treatment options which can include: Injury Assessments, Manual Therapy, Joint Mobilisations, Stretching, Exercise Rehabilitation, Taping, Electrotherapies and Sports Massage. We aim to develop the treatment approach that works best for, and empowers you during your recovery.
We provide services to help a range of sporting and everyday musculoskeletal conditions, injuries and complaints. All assessments and treatments will be prefixed by a subjective interview during which a full history of the presenting complaint is taken. This can include gathering information on past medical history, medications, hobbies and interests and finally a series of contraindications to ensure we can provide the most appropriate and safe treatments for you.
You can book in with one of our five therapists online:
