Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can occur from overuse, sudden impact, or poor technique, affecting muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Common examples include sprains, strains, tendonitis, and stress fractures. These injuries can lead to pain, inflammation, reduced mobility, and impaired performance if not properly managed.

Osteopathic treatment focuses on identifying the root cause of the injury rather than just the symptoms. Using hands-on techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, and stretching, an osteopath works to restore balance, improve circulation, and enhance the body’s natural healing process. Treatment is often complemented with tailored exercise and rehabilitation programs to support recovery and prevent re-injury.

By improving alignment, flexibility, and overall body mechanics, osteopathic care helps athletes and active individuals return to their sport safely and maintain long-term physical health.
