As an osteopath for sports injuries, what is your procedure for recovery?
At Body Plus Osteopaths, our therapists believe it is highly important to complete a full analysis of your problem areas to be able to examine functionality, posture and biomechanics. This will give us an in-depth knowledge of your body’s movements.
This analysis will help us to pinpoint the main causes of your pain and to identify areas of imbalance or misalignment that could also be leading to soreness in other parts of your body.
We will then devise a variety of therapies to get you moving again.
Whilst our initial goal is to provide you with some immediate relief from symptoms, we want to return you to full fitness with fully-functional movement. By pinpointing the root causes of your discomfort, we can work more effectively with you to achieve rehabilitation.
