Sports injuries can affect more than your performance. Pain, stiffness and restricted movement can make training difficult and stop you from doing the activities you enjoy.

Our sports osteopaths provide hands-on treatment and personalised rehabilitation to help you recover, move better and return to activity with confidence.

We’ll look at how your body moves, what may be contributing to your symptoms, and the demands of your sport or training routine.

Whether you’re managing a recent injury or an issue that keeps coming back, we’ll create a treatment plan around your body, activity level, and recovery goals.

If you’re ready to get moving again, book an appointment with our team today.

How our sports osteopaths treat your condition.

Our sports osteos use hands-on treatment alongside personalised rehabilitation to help reduce pain, restore movement, and support your return to activity. Treatment depends on your injury and goals, but may include:

  • Soft Tissue Massage

    Soft tissue massage uses hands-on pressure and movement to work on tight or sore muscles. It can help ease tension, improve mobility and support recovery.

  • Joint Manipulation

    Joint manipulation uses quick, controlled movements to improve mobility in stiff or restricted joints. It helps reduce stiffness and support comfortable movement.

  • Dry Needling

    Dry needling uses a fine needle inserted into tight or sensitive areas of muscle. It may help release muscle tension, reduce discomfort and improve movement.

  • Cupping

    Cupping uses suction cups placed on the skin to target tight muscles and soft tissue. It may help reduce tension, improve movement and ease muscle soreness.

  • Shockwave Therapy

    Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves on injured or irritated tissue. It can support the healing process and may help with persistent tendon and soft tissue problems.

  • Counterstrain

    Counterstrain uses carefully guided positioning to help settle irritated or tense areas. By placing the body in a more relaxed position, it can support easier movement and reduce sensitivity.

  • Rigid & Kinesio Taping

    Taping can provide extra support to muscles and joints during movement and activity. Depending on your needs, rigid or kinesio tape may be used as part of treatment.

Sports Osteopath FAQ

  • Not at all. You don’t need to play competitive sport to see a sports osteopath. We work with runners, gym-goers, weekend athletes, and anyone who wants to stay active without pain or restricted movement getting in the way.

  • If pain, stiffness or an injury is affecting how you train, move or perform, it’s worth getting it assessed. You can also see us for recurring problems that settle down but keep returning when you increase your activity.

  • Recurring injuries can sometimes involve more than the area that hurts. We’ll look at your movement, previous injuries and training demands to better understand what may be contributing to the problem and how to manage it.

  • We’ll chat about what happened, what you’re experiencing and the activities you want to return to. Your osteopath will assess how you move before discussing the findings and starting treatment where appropriate.

  • Yes. Returning to activity is an important part of recovery. We’ll consider the movements and demands involved in your sport or training and help you work towards a gradual return that suits your progress.

  • Not necessarily. In many cases, you may be able to keep moving while your injury improves, although your usual training may need to be adjusted for a while.

    Your osteopath can guide you on what to continue, what to modify and when you can start building your training back up.

  • Wear comfortable clothing that lets you move freely. If you have scans, reports or other information relating to your injury, you’re welcome to bring those along too.

    It also helps to tell us about your sport, usual training routine and any particular movements that bring on your symptoms.
