Osteopathy for Sports Injuries

The osteopathic approach is very well suited to the treatment of injuries related to sport. Sports injuries can occur to those who play for recreation as well as the more serious sportsperson.

All joints in the body are susceptible to injury e.g. a hand injury playing rugby or a nose injury from a mid air collision.

Many injuries respond to rest but come back when sport is resumed. These are injuries that have not fully resolved.

If injuries are left, it may lead to gradual limitation of movement or having to give up the sport.

Osteopathic treatment can help to bring tissues back to health. Sport activity can be resumed.
