Specialised Sports Medicine Programmes at UPMC

Access UPMC's world-renowned sports medicine experts and the latest programmes to treat injuries and enhance sports performance. This includes:

  • Sports medicine consultations and injury clinic: Meet with a specialist at the injury clinic and have same-day diagnostic testing.
  • Sports and exercise injuries. Find treatment and rehab for strains, sprains, ligament tears, fractures, and more.
  • Physiotherapy: Perform exercises to improve function and mobility after injuries or surgery.
  • Blood flow restriction rehabilitation: This approach uses a tourniquet system on the arm or leg. A cuff provides specific pressure and reduces blood flow to the limb. We use this to treat fractures, strains, nerve and joint injuries, and severe muscle or bone trauma. It also helps rehabilitation after surgery.
  • Shockwave and Winback therapy: These techniques use energy waves to promote the body's natural healing processes and relieve pain.
  • Sport-specific performance testing: These science-based tests look for potential risks and advise ways to achieve peak performance.
  • Strength and conditioning: Our science-based training programmes help to build stamina and boost performance.
  • Pre-season athlete and team screening: This approach prepares athletes for the upcoming season. It screens for injury risk, provides injury prevention tips, and performs baseline testing.
  • Heart screening: This screening helps find heart disorders that could lead to sudden cardiac arrest or other dangerous heart problems during a playing season.
  • Biodex technology: This tool measures recovery progress for specific sports injuries. It provides objective data to decide the right time to return to play.
  • Concussion care: Care includes baseline testing, post-injury testing, and rehabilitation services. Learn more about the UPMC Concussion Network in Ireland.
