Sports Physiotherapy

Sports-focused physiotherapy for recreational and competitive athletes, delivered by therapists with real-world sports medicine backgrounds. Sessions cover acute injury management, load-management rehabilitation, return-to-sport progression, and injury-prevention screening. K+Clinic's sports physiotherapists — trained at Charles University — work alongside two orthopedic surgeons (MUDr. Kudela, FC Viktoria Plzeň team physician; MUDr. Juríková, FK Mladá Boleslav), meaning surgical and conservative care can be coordinated under one roof when needed. Sessions are 55 minutes (1,700 Kč) or 25 minutes (1,000 Kč) at Prague 5-Smíchov.

K+Clinic's sports physiotherapy service is distinct from general physiotherapy in its emphasis on sport-specific movement demands and return-to-performance timelines. The assessment process includes a detailed sports and injury history, sport-specific functional testing (single-leg squat, hip and shoulder mobility screens, dynamic stability assessments), and integration with the clinic's biomechanical analysis tools when relevant. Bc. Filip Vopěnka and Mgr. David Filip both have strong backgrounds in sports injury rehabilitation. Filip Vopěnka's approach combines DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation) with manual therapy to address both the symptomatic area and the underlying movement control deficits that contribute to injury risk. Mgr. Filip specialises in post-operative and post-trauma rehabilitation, including recovery from ACL reconstruction, rotator-cuff repair, and ankle ligament surgery — conditions particularly common among athletes. Sessions are structured around a three-phase framework: acute management (pain reduction, swelling control, protected mobility), sub-acute rehabilitation (strength, neuromuscular control, tissue loading), and sport-specific reintegration (power, agility, reactive movement). The integration of device-assisted modalities — BTL 6000 TR Therapy for deep tissue heating, high-power laser for photobiomodulation, focused shockwave for tendinopathies — means stubborn overuse injuries can be addressed directly within the session. Common sports presentations include runner's knee (patellofemoral pain), IT band syndrome, Achilles and patellar tendinopathy, shoulder impingement, ankle sprains, hamstring and calf strains, and low back pain in athletes. The clinic also supports preventive work: pre-season movement screening, load management guidance, and technique coaching informed by the RunTime treadmill analysis system.
