How Front Runner Physio can help netball athletes

From West Coast Fever to state league teams, community and junior players, our expert physiotherapy team understand the game and physical demands of netball, tailoring programs to meet individual needs.

Netball is a fast-paced, multidirectional sport that requires sprinting, jumping, landing, and rapid changes of direction. These repeated high-impact movements place stress on the knees, ankles, and shoulders, increasing the risk of ligament injuries, overuse issues, and impact trauma.

Our physios can support safe return-to-play, reduce recurrence, and enhance performance throughout training and competition.
