Train hard, fight hard, recover properly.

Striking, grappling, takedowns, joint-locking — combat sports place demands on the body that most training programmes aren't built to withstand indefinitely. Whatever your discipline, our Combat Sports Physiotherapy team takes you from acute injury through to a safe, confident return to fighting.

THE PROBLEM

Combat sports injuries don't follow a single pattern — and neither should treatment.

Striking sports and grappling sports injure the body in genuinely different ways: repetitive impact and rotational load in Muay Thai and kickboxing versus sudden joint-lock mechanisms in BJJ. Treating either without understanding the specific sport behind it means athletes either return too early and re-injure, or sit out longer than necessary on a plan that isn't built around what they actually need to get back to.

CHOOSE YOUR DISCIPLINE

Find the programme built for your sport

Muay Thai & Kickboxing Physiotherapy → For the repetitive impact, kicking, and clinch-related injuries specific to striking sports — shin and lower leg issues, rib injuries from body kicks, shoulder overuse from pad work, and lower back pain from kicking mechanics.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) Physiotherapy → For the joint-lock and grappling-specific injuries common in BJJ — elbow hyperextension from armbars and kimuras, knee injuries from leg locks and heel hooks, and shoulder injuries from submissions and takedowns.

MMA & Other Martial Arts

MMA and hybrid disciplines combine both striking and grappling demands, often presenting with a mix of the injury patterns covered on both pages above — our assessment identifies which mechanisms are relevant to you specifically.

WHY MOMENTUM

Why combat sports athletes choose Momentum

• We understand the sport, not just the injury — treatment is built around the specific demands of striking, grappling, and ground-based martial arts

• Evidence-based approach — your plan draws on current clinical evidence for combat sports injuries, not generic sports rehab protocols

• Structured path back to competition — a clear progression from recovery to sparring or rolling through to fighting or competing, so you return confident, not guessing

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

FAQ

I'm not sure which page applies to me — what if I train multiple disciplines?

That's exactly what MMA and hybrid training looks like — book a Discovery Call and we'll identify which injury mechanisms and movement patterns are actually relevant to your training, rather than you needing to self-diagnose which page fits.

Do you treat injuries from other martial arts not listed here (judo, wrestling, karate, etc.)?

Yes — the same evidence-based, mechanism-specific approach applies across combat sports generally; Muay Thai/kickboxing and BJJ are our two most common referral sources, but the assessment process is the same for other disciplines.

Can you help even if I'm not currently injured?

Yes — many athletes book proactively to address recurring niggles or joint irritation before they become a more serious injury, particularly given how repetitive load in combat sports tends to accumulate over time.

Do I need a referral?

No — you can book directly with our team.
