Sports Injury Treatment

Sports Injury Treatment: Our Approach

Sports injury treatment in an Osteopathic setting emphasises a whole-body approach. We address not only the immediate injury but also the underlying biomechanical factors that may have contributed to it. We will begin with a comprehensive assessment of your movement patterns, posture, and structural alignment to identify compensations or imbalances throughout your body that could be affecting the injured area.

Integrated Treatment Plan

Our treatment typically combines hands-on Osteopathic manipulative techniques to restore proper joint mobility and tissue function, along with targeted exercises to strengthen weakened areas and improve coordination. The Osteopathic approach recognises that an ankle injury, for example, might be related to hip dysfunction or spinal restrictions, so treatment addresses these interconnected relationships rather than focusing solely on the painful site.

Your Path to Optimal Function

Your personalised treatment plan will likely include manual therapy techniques such as soft tissue release, joint mobilisation, and muscle energy techniques. These will be combined with specific rehabilitation exercises and education about proper movement mechanics to prevent re-injury. Our goal is not just to resolve your current symptoms but to optimise your overall musculoskeletal function, enhance your athletic performance, and reduce your risk of future injuries.
