Osteopathy for Sports

Sports injuries treated by osteopaths
Whether you’re an enthusiastic amateur or an elite professional, an osteopath may be able to help with the prevention and treatment of common sporting injuries.

Pains and strains:

• low back pain (with or without sciatica).
• muscle and ligament injuries.
• knee pain (including lack of mobility and degenerative conditions).
• shoulder, elbow and wrist injuries.
• foot and ankle complaints.

Functional complaints:

• reduced joint flexibility (e.g. suffered by golfers who can’t rotate as well as they used to).
• mechanical limitations (e.g. suffered by gymnasts having difficulty in doing full “splits”).

Injuries caused by overuse:

• tennis and golfer’s elbow.
• jumper’s knee.
• tenosynovitis and tendonitis.
