Osteopathy is particularly suited to assisting the sportsman or sportswoman with complaints as varied as back pain and tennis elbow, or hip problems and recurrent muscle injuries.

The Osteopath’s unique approach to appraising an injury, as well as the wide range of techniques and treatment approaches employed by Osteopaths, makes them ideal for the treatment of sports injuries. When a sportsperson consults an Osteopath, he/she examines the posture and condition of those parts which make the human body a dynamic machine - these include the muscles, ligaments and tendons of all joints from head to toe.

The Osteopath examines the strength and flexibility of these tissues and considers how well adapted they are to the individual sportsperson and the chosen sport. This approach is suitable for the treatment of complex and/or recurrent injuries.
