Imperial College sport and exercise medicine clinic (ICSMEC)

Being physically active is critical for good health. 

At ICSEMC we aim to support people being physically active by assessing, diagnosing and treating a range of sports related injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. We also assess and care for people with Sports-Related Concussion (SRC), and other conditions related to physical activity such as Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S).

Our service is led by a Consultant in Sport & Exercise Medicine and supported by 4 Specialist Registrars, a GP, and one of our lead sports physiotherapists. We provide a rapid one-stop service for a range of sports related injuries and musculoskeletal conditions allowing you to keep physically active as soon as possible.
