Sports injuries are one of the most common reasons people seek osteopathic care. Our therapists are highly skilled and experienced in treating musculoskeletal injuries. We can help heal sports injuries such as sprains and strains, fractures, dislocations and other problems affecting the bones and joints.
We also have extensive experience treating soft tissue problems such as muscle tears or strains, ligament tears or sprains, tendonitis (inflammation of tendons) etc.
If you have been injured whilst playing sport, you will have suffered a strain or tear which needs treating by an osteopath.
Advice to patients who regularly attend our treatments is taken up by many amateur and professional sports people. It helps guard against future injuries and time away from doing the sport they love. Regular osteopathic treatment maintains good physical health and helps to reach optimal performance.

Osteopathic treatment can help with sports injuries. If you have a question please get in touch.
Osteopaths can help the healing process of a sports injury by gently stretching the muscle and keeping the effected joint mobilised whilst the muscle heals.
Osteopaths are experienced in the application of joint manipulation in comparison to Physiotherapists. Osteopaths will look to treat the body as a whole, whilst physiotherapists are generally area specific.
Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury or assault on the tissue. This doesn’t necessarily need to be a physical injury, it can be anything from a rheumatic disorder, causing a chemical assault or hormonal imbalance which can cause excessive inflammation. Stress in the form of flight / fight or petrify can add to that tissue reactivity.
With osteopathy we can reduce the muscular contraction and improve lymph flow which can reduce the effects of the inflammatory process and in many cases allows the body to heal and reset itself.
