Common Questions About
Sports Osteopathy

When should I seek treatment for a sports injury?
Early treatment is often most effective. Seek treatment if you experience pain during or after activity, notice changes in your performance, or have sustained an injury. Even minor niggles can benefit from early intervention.
How can osteopathy help prevent sports injuries?
We assess your movement patterns and body mechanics to identify potential issues before they cause problems. This proactive approach helps maintain optimal function and reduce injury risk.
Can I continue training while receiving treatment?
This depends on your injury and sport. We'll work with you to create an appropriate training plan that supports recovery while maintaining fitness where possible.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment duration varies depending on your injury, sport, and goals. Acute injuries might resolve in 3-4 sessions, while chronic conditions or performance enhancement might require ongoing support.
Do you work with professional athletes?
Yes, we treat athletes of all levels, from beginners to elite competitors. Our team has experience working with professional athletes, including elite gymnasts and Olympic-level competitors.
