SPORTS INJURIES
Most kinds of sports or activity related pain or problem can be helped by osteopathy. Most osteopaths have a sound knowledge of the physical requirements of each sport and its training regime. This, allied to osteopathic diagnosis and treatment, often results in improved performance and a reduced risk of an activity or training related relapse.
Typically, more advanced sportspeople are more concerned with their performance (which is heavily influenced by sub-optimal spinal functioning) than with aches and pains, and it is here that osteopathy can help a lot.
If extensive rehabilitation or further medical intervention is required, appropriate contacts and referrals will be made to other professionals.
