Osteopathy
and Sports
Whether you are a weekend
warrior or an elite athlete, your osteopath can assist with prevention of injury
as well as treatment of many common sporting injuries. These include:
- Neck and back strains
- Shoulder,
elbow and wrist injuries eg. Tennis elbow
- Hip, knee,
leg and ankle injuries eg. Shin splints
Ankle
and shoulder injuries are very common in amateur and professional sport. These
injuries can be poorly treated or not treated at all which can lead to recurrence
and early degenerative conditions.
Prevention
is definitely better than cure!
Your
osteopath can provide a number of stretching exercises and routines that will
specifically assist you with avoiding injury through muscle and joint strain.
In addition, depending on your sport and individual needs, your osteopath can
provide advice on correct diet to assist you in both performance and recovery.
Osteopathic
treatment involves manual techniques, including soft tissue stretching, mobilisation
and manipulation, which is like a tune up for strained muscles, joints and spine.
This creates a positive influence on your circulatory and nervous systems. In
turn, this can have a flow on effect to the rest of the body by improving elasticity
and mobility. These hands on methods are gentle, safe and effective.
