Physiotherapy for Cricket Players
Cricket places unique demands on the body.
Fast bowling, batting, throwing, sprinting and long periods in the field can all contribute to injuries affecting the shoulders, backs, knees, ankles and lower limbs.
Our Physiotherapists can help with:
- Acute sporting injuries
- Muscle strains and tears
- Shoulder pain and throwing-related injuries
- Back pain
- Knee injuries
- Ankle sprains
- Tendon injuries
- Overuse injuries
- Rehabilitation following surgery
- Return-to-training planning
- Return-to-play rehabilitation
- Injury prevention strategies
Our goal isn’t simply to settle your symptoms.
We want to help you understand the injury, restore your movement and strength, and build a clear pathway towards getting you confidently back onto the cricket field.
Injured at Training or on Game Day?
Don’t wait several weeks hoping it settles.
Our Physiotherapy team can assess the injury and develop an individual rehabilitation plan based around your position, training demands and playing schedule.
Early assessment can help determine
From first assessment to match day
The objective is not simply getting you pain-free. It is getting you ready for the demands of cricket again.
- Assess
- Treat
- Rehabilitate
- Reload
- Return to Play

We regularly assess and manage- Shoulder pain

Returning to Cricket After Injury
One of the biggest mistakes athletes can make is treating “my pain is gone” as meaning “I am ready to play.”
Before returning to cricket, we may assess things such as:
- Strength
- Mobility
- Power
- Running tolerance
- Sprinting
- Change of direction
- Throwing tolerance
- Bowling tolerance
- Batting movement
- Confidence
- Training exposure
We can then progressively build your workload towards:
- Rehabilitation
- Modified Training
- Full Training
- Return to Competition
This helps reduce the jump between rehabilitation and the demands of match play.
Fast Bowlers
Fast bowling can be one of the most physically demanding roles in cricket.
Repeated bowling places substantial load through the:
- Lower back
- Hips
- Knees
- Ankles
- Shoulders
Pain during or after bowling?
If pain develops, particularly during or following bowling, early assessment can help identify contributing factors and guide training modifications.
Where appropriate, our Physiotherapists can help develop a staged return-to-bowling plan rather than simply asking you to rest until symptoms disappear.
- Identify contributing factors
- Guide training modifications
- Staged return-to-bowling plan
Look after the foundation of your game
Cricket requires repeated running, acceleration, change of direction and prolonged periods on your feet.
Our Podiatrists can assess and manage conditions involving the feet, ankles and lower limbs, including:
- Foot pain
- Heel pain
- Plantar fascia pain
- Achilles pain
- Ankle problems
- Shin pain
- Lower-limb biomechanics
- Footwear concerns
- Orthotic assessment where clinically indicated
