Osteopathy and Sports Injuries

Osteopathy is effective in treating sports injuries. Osteopathy works primarily by reducing dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system as a whole, rather than focusing only on the injured area. Sports injuries are primarily soft tissue or joint related, often from trauma, overuse, or incorrect use.  Osteopaths often use hands-on techniques supported by exercises to help recovery. Osteopaths at the clinic have treated Olympians and other high profile athletes, as well as weekend warriors. Several Osteopaths at the clinic have additional qualifications in other rehabilitation approaches such as Pilates.
Osteopathy may be effective in reducing the symptoms of a range of sports-related conditions and issues including:
​
  • tendonitis (knee, elbow, shoulder, achilles, etc). This includes well known conditions such as tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, housemaid's knee, etc
  • ankle sprains
  • contact injuries
  • knee injuries
  • shoulder & AC joint injuries
  • muscular tears & strains
  • ligament sprains
  • Osgood-Schlatters disease or Patella Tracking Dysfunction
