Rehabilitation
Here at Sheffield Sports Medicine, we are passionate about helping you and your body to be the amazing tool it was designed to be. Our goal is to get you moving and performing at your best both physically and psychologically.
Patients from around the world travel to access our expert rehabilitation services as we help them function at their best and restore optimum function in their brain and body.
The rehabilitation process that we take our patients through helps them to get back to or improve the functions they need for daily life. These include enhancing their physical, mental and/or cognitive functioning. We work with patients that may have lost these functions due to injury, trauma, disease or side effects from medical treatments.
You may want to access our rehabilitation services if you have limitations in functioning or you have difficulties in seeing, hearing, communicating, thinking or moving around.
We help people that have difficulty in functioning, moving and living life normally. We successfully help people that are in pain, have a poor range of motion, have chronic illnesses and more.
rehabilitation programmes
How we conduct our injury rehabilitation programme varies greatly from one person to the next depending on the type of injury you have. Our aim is to restore your body's normal functioning by helping your brain to relearn. The treatments we offer are very much dependent on what you are rehabilitating from - a traumatic brain injury, a neurological condition, a sports injury - or anything else in between. Our injury rehabilitation programs are also dependent on your goals. We work with you to find out your needs and goals and we create a bespoke with and for you.
Your programme may include:
Cognitive Rehabilitation
Manual Therapies
Coaching, and
Strength & Conditioning Work
cognitive rehabilitation
Founder and owner of Sheffield Sports Medicine, Dr Michael Lee, successfully rehabilitated Dr Kate Allatt from in Locked in Syndrome (complete paralysis) to running, within 8 months. 80% of patients with Locked in Syndrome struggle to survive and 20% remain in a vegetative state for the rest of their lives. Dr Michael Lee was the first clinician in the world to treat and rehabilitate a patient from Locked in Syndrome to running and he achieved this through a technique he created call The ONE Method.
Dr Lee's The ONE Method challenges conventional treatments as he has found that over 90% of disease, illness and chronic pain originates from neurological dysfunction. He realised that after studying 7 degrees in different specialisms, that 70% of what he learnt did NOT make sense and only 30% actually could give long term benefits to patients. Dr Lee and the team at Sheffield Sports Medicine use The ONE Method to successfully rehabilitate patients by retraining neural pathways and training new neural pathways to improve neurological functioning that have been affected by disease or trauma.
Injury rehabilitation
We have worked with thousands of athletes and professional sports teams to get to the root cause of their injuries and permanently eliminate them. We are able to help athletes and non-athletes recover from a wide range of injuries including musculoskeletal injuries - sprains, strains and tears and orthopaedic injuries.
We have successfully rehabilitated patients with macro-traumatic injuries (tissue injuries from strong forces such as a fall, accident, laceration) and micro-traumatic injuries (tissue injuries that tend to result from overuse of a structure). We help to restore your body to optimal form and function.
If you have an injury, it is important to start an injury rehabilitation as soon as possible. Your injury rehabilitation programme will be completely unique to you. We will work with you to set goals to get your body back to optimum functioning or better. Your injury rehabilitation programme will likely include manual therapy, neurological therapy and strength and conditioning training.
