Osteopathy for your injuries
An effective approach to prevention and treatment of injury
Whether you are a weekend warrior or an elite athlete, your osteopath can assist with injury prevention techniques and treat various sporting injuries, including: shoulder, elbow and wrist injuries; knee, leg and ankle injuries; hip and pelvic injuries; and neck and back strains.
Reduced joint or muscle flexibility can hinder your performance and increase the likelihood of injury. If you sustain an injury, your osteopath is highly trained in sports injury treatment to facilitate a return to optimal function and prevent compensatory strains from developing. This minimizes re-injury and allows for a quicker return to physical activity.
Osteopathy for injuries involves safe, gentle, and effective manual techniques, such as soft tissue stretching, mobilization, inhibition, and manipulation. These methods help improve elasticity, strength, endurance, mobility, and overall performance.
Your osteopath can also provide tailored advice on training and recommend appropriate activities if you have an existing condition and wish to start exercising.
As registered ACC treatment providers, osteopaths can lodge an ACC claim for your sports injury without requiring a GP referral.
