I help competitive athletes with post-injury rehabilitation and return-to-sport conditioning after an ACL, muscle, or joint injury, so that they return to full performance without re-injuring the same area.
Dr. Anas Mumtaz, DPT, MS Sports Physical Therapy. Rehabilitation that doesn't stop when the pain does, and ends only when you're back to full performance.
"Physical therapy is not just exercise, it's about rewiring the body to work smarter, not harder."
Pain-Free Is Not the Same as Match-Ready
Most athletes are discharged from physiotherapy when the pain settles. But pain fades long before strength, power and control come back. Return to competition in that gap, and the same hamstring, the same ankle or the same knee is often injured again.
My work closes that gap. Every programme runs from the first day after injury to the day you pass your return-to-sport tests, and it's built around the demands of your sport, not a generic sheet of exercises.

Knee, ankle and shoulder sprains and instability, rebuilding stability, strength and confidence under sport-speed loads.

Pitch-Side Experience at National Events

Built Around Your Sport
