A sporting injury simply refers to any injury that has occurred as a result of playing sports. This might look like

• Classic repetitive strain injuries such as “tennis elbow” – which, by the way, does not just happen due to playing tennis, and refers to many injuries caused by a repeated movement.
• Issues caused by a slip up, fall or collision, such as losing your feet during netball, or taking a high tackle playing footy.
• “Wear and tear” pain from training, like chronically sore hips and knees, tight shoulders and neck muscles, and just generally feeling a little creaky after some tough sessions.

As a whole body system, osteopathy begins with looking at the injury, but also at the entirety of the musco-skeletal system as well. This holistic perspective goes further than treatment, as we frequently collaborate with your GP, specialists and other allied health professionals to ensure you have the best treatment possible, especially when other systems and symptoms are involved in your recovery. This is especially relevant for those seeking rehabilitation programs for their sporting injuries.

We’ll ask you plenty of questions about your sporting and injury history, your lifestyle and your goals. From there, we’ll focus on not only your injury or concern but also other parts of the body that may be challenged as they support the injured area. By applying osteopathic treatment such as manual therapy, dry needling or cupping, we are focusing on managing your symptoms while at the same time focusing on the prevention of future injuries.
