Osteopathy and Sports Injuries

Sporting activities are part of everyday life for many of us and a sports injury can be incredibly frustrating, especially when there is potentially a long recovery process and you just want to get back out there and play.

We aim to help by:

  • Restoring joint flexibility
  • Improving joint mobility
  • Restoring structural balance
  • Reducing adhesions and soft tissue restrictions

Sports injuries may be caused by direct contact, an accident such as a fall or a heavy blow, not warming up properly, using inappropriate equipment or poor technique. They often happen if you push yourself too hard or overuse.

The most common injuries we treat are:

  • Knee injuries
  • Hip injuries
  • Ankles
  • Foot injuries
  • Muscle strain
  • Ligament injuries
  • Tendonitis
  • Back pain

An Osteopath will treat these issues accordingly using physical manipulation, muscle stretching and massage. This combination of techniques enables the therapist to improve mobility, relieve muscle tension or soft tissue restrictions by enhancing the blood supply to muscles and connective tissue to ensure your body is in its optimum state and enable you to perform, or train, to your full capacity.
