Combinations of massage, manipulation, stretching and strengthening techniques are always used.

The main purpose of sports massage is to help alleviate stress and tension which builds up in the body's soft tissues, this can be sports related or from simple day to day activities. When an injury occurs the body often reacts by tensing the soft tissues surrounding the area, massage can work quickly and effectively to reduce this. It can also be helpful in preventing 'niggling' injuries which can hamper performance. Sports massage tends to be a deeper more intense massage, combining a variety of techniques including stretching, friction and trigger point release. With sports massage it's especially important to have a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology. By understanding these systems and the effects of exercise, we are able to develop a clearer picture of why the individual may be suffering in particular areas, which allows us to tailor our massage treatment.

To an osteopath, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well. So osteopaths work to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery. Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints, to relieve muscle tension, to enhance the blood and nerve supply to tissues, and to help your body’s own healing mechanisms. They may also provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.

Many aches and pains can be attributed to poor posture due to modern lifestyle and, in particular, extensive computer use. Managing your own posture is liekly to be a key part of your own recovery process.

Like Chiropractors, osteopaths undertake spinal manipulation where this is considered appropriate due to restrictions in mobility. There is good evidence from clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness of spinal maipulation therapy. 

Treatment of a wide range of sports injuries is offered to enable you to get back to your sport as soon as possible. Sports massage can also ease tired and aching muscles, improve lymphatic drainage and prevent injury

As osteopaths we have a thorough understanding of the biomechanics of the back and neck and possible sources of pain including disc prolapse and trapped nerves -- my commitment is to get you moving again, without pain
