Sports people of all ages and abilities can develop injuries. They may be one-off events or repetitive strain type injuries. In some cases, rest and avoidance of the activity may alleviate the symptoms but persistent or repetitive injuries are likely to require treatment.
Osteopathic treatment uses a holistic approach to sports injuries, not just looking at the site of pain or dysfunction. It encompasses a complete diagnosis and may highlight problems that the patient was not even aware of, that are contributing to their injury or slow recovery.

In addition to a specific diagnosis and effective treatment, your Osteopath is concerned with your complete rehabilitation and prevention of recurrence of your injury. In many cases, your Osteopath will discuss with you the details of your sport, appropriate cross training and facilitate ways to speed your recovery and prevent recurrence. If you have a trainer, your Osteopath may wish to discuss your treatment etc with them to promote an integrative approach to your healthcare.
