Musculoskeletal Injuries
Musculoskeletal injuries involve damage to the muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons, or bones. They can result from overuse, poor posture, repetitive strain, trauma, or sudden movements. Common examples include back and neck pain, joint sprains, muscle strains, tendon injuries, and postural imbalances. These conditions can cause pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and interfere with daily activities.
Osteopathic treatment focuses on identifying the underlying cause of the injury and restoring balance to the body’s structure and function. Using gentle hands-on techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, stretching, and muscle energy techniques, an osteopath helps reduce pain, improve movement, and enhance the body’s natural healing process.
In addition to manual therapy, patients may receive personalised advice on posture, ergonomics, and rehabilitation exercises to support recovery and prevent future injuries. Osteopathic care aims to not only treat the symptoms but also promote long-term musculoskeletal health and resilience.
