Sports Injuries & Rehabilitation
The main reason we decided to open our clinic out of consulting suits within the same building as a gym was so that we could manage as many sporting or exercise related injuries as possible. This is out bread and butter, we love it!
Managing sports injuries and providing tailored exercise rehabilitation programs are essential components of our approach at Osteopathic Movement. We specialise in offering comprehensive care to help athletes recover from injuries and optimise their performance upon return to action .
1. Injury Assessment: We conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the nature and extent of the sports injury, including identifying any underlying biomechanical issues or contributing factors.
2. Diagnosis and Treatment: We provide an accurate diagnosis of the sports injury and develop an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Treatment may include a combination of manual therapy techniques, such as:
- Soft Tissue Massage
- Joint Mobilisation
- Myofascial Release
- Dry Needling
- Trigger Point Therapy
- Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) Techniques
3. Rehabilitation Program: We design personalised exercise rehabilitation programs to promote healing, restore function, and prevent re-injury. These programs are specifically tailored to address your unique injury and may include:
- Strengthening exercises targeting affected muscles and supporting structures
- Flexibility and mobility exercises to improve range of motion
- Neuromuscular re-education to enhance coordination and proprioception
- Functional movement training to simulate sports-specific movements and activities
4. Progressive Rehabilitation: We guide you through progressive stages of rehabilitation, gradually increasing intensity and complexity as your injury heals and your strength and mobility improve.
5. Return-to-Sport Planning: We provide guidance on safe return-to-sport protocols, including gradual reintroduction of activity, sports-specific drills, and injury prevention strategies to minimise the risk of re-injury.
6. Education and Injury Prevention: We offer education on proper warm-up and cool-down routines, sports biomechanics, and injury prevention strategies to help you stay healthy and perform at your best.
