A case study from Sports Therapist Lauren
Meet Lauren, Our Expert Sports Therapist in Truro, Cornwall
At Keheren Therapy, we are proud to have Lauren, our skilled sports therapist, based in Truro, Cornwall. Lauren is passionate about helping athletes of all levels overcome injuries and return to peak performance. Let’s take a closer look at how she recently supported Freya, a dedicated athlete, through her recovery journey after experiencing her first-ever injury: a strained hamstring (with Freya’s consent of course!)
A Holistic Approach to Recovery
When Freya came to Keheren Therapy, Lauren began with a thorough assessment to understand the severity and nature of her injury. Using techniques like palpation, range-of-motion testing, strength assessments, and functional movement analysis, Lauren pinpointed the exact challenges Freya was facing. From there, Lauren applied early interventions to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasm. She combined manual therapy with carefully chosen modalities and exercises, helping Freya regain her range of motion while easing discomfort and regain strength in the early phase of her rehabilitation.
A Tailored Rehabilitation Plan
Lauren’s approach is always personalised. For Freya, she crafted a rehabilitation program designed to address her unique needs and athletic goals. This included exercises to build strength, flexibility, and power in her affected leg, as well as drills to improve proprioception (body awareness) and neuromuscular control. Lauren gradually increased the intensity of Freya’s rehabilitation, helping her regain speed, agility, and acceleration. Each step of the way, the focus was on preparing her body for the demands of her sport while minimising the risk of re-injury.
Preparing Freya for Success
Recovery isn’t just physical—it’s mental too. Lauren worked closely with Freya to address the psychological challenges of injury recovery. She provided reassurance, set realistic goals, and supported Freya in building the confidence needed to return to competition. As Freya neared the end of her rehabilitation, Lauren introduced sport-specific drills and exercises. These were carefully designed to simulate the movements Freya would encounter in her sport, ensuring she was fully prepared for the demands of her game.
