Why Do Sports Injuries Occur?

Injuries occur when part of your body experiences excessive strain or force.

You are more susceptible to injury when your musculoskeletal system is imbalanced.  This occurs as a result of incorrect biomechanics, poor posture and previous injuries.

When your perform repetitive physical tasks with poor posture, poor technique and incorrect biomechanics your are more likely to become injured.

How Do Osteopaths Help Sports Injuries?

Osteopaths aim to release tension and restriction in the myofascial system and increase the range of movement in joints.

We use thorough clinical assessment to provide specific strengthening, conditioning and rehabilitation techniques.   As your body becomes stronger, it is able to handle increased load and strain.

When your range of movement improves and your strength increases, your movement patterns become more efficient and performance improves.

Relinque Sports & Spinal Group uses traditional osteopathic techniques as well as the latest, clinically proven treatment methods to ensure you get the best treatment and the right stage of your recovery.
