At Body Beliefs, we understand the importance of rapid relief for sports injuries. We are big advocates for the physical, mental and social benefits of sports! We know how frustrating it is to have to stop training due to injury. Our aim is to reduce pain, restore movement and ensure performance is enhanced as quickly as possible.
Sports injuries are commonly due to overuse (pushing yourself too hard, or playing too much). Age does not matter – sport puts a lot of physical demand on the body and can increase your vulnerability to injury and cause muscle strains and tears.
Taking part in sports or keeping fit can be rewarding, improve your health and reduce your risk of serious illnesses, such as heart problems, stroke or cancer. It can also help maintain your weight and improve your self-esteem.
It is common to feel some minor discomfort after training, as the body takes a little time to recover and adapt to the demands of activities. Soreness often quickly resolves itself but occasionally, may persist for more than a few days or make it difficult for you to continue your normal activities. In these instances, you may want to seek advice from an osteopath.
How Can We Help With Sports Injuries?
Whether you are an amateur footballer, a yoga fan, go to the gym once a week or are planning a marathon, your osteopath will take into consideration the level of your activity or chosen sport, understand your goals and work with you to ensure you maintain the best of health.
