Sports injuries can affect both amateur and professional sportsmen or sportswomen. The term Sports Injury is used to define injuries which occur while playing sports or carrying out exercise and can affect any part of the body, including the muscles, bones, joints and connective tissues (tendons and ligaments) with the ankles and knees being some of the most commonly affected areas.<\/p>\n
While sprains and strains tend to be the most frequently occuring sports injury; other sports injuries can include back pain, bone injury such as fractures or breaks, hamstring pulls and strains and head injuries.<\/p>\n
There are a variety of ways in which Sports Injuries occur but some of the most common causes of sports injury are an accident such as a fall or heavy blow which are known as traumatic sports injuries. <\/strong>Sports Injuries which are caused by not warming up properly before beginning to exercise, overtraining or using a inappropriate training or a poor technique are known as overuse injuries such as plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopath.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n Osteopathy can be particularly effective when used to treat Sports Injuries, or to aid in the rehabilitation of the body after a sports injury has occured. Osteopathy is also extremely successful in treating functional complaints such as reduced joint flexibility and mechanical limitations which affect the ability to engage in sports.<\/p>\n The holistic approach to osteopathic treatment at the How Osteopathic Clinic ensures that each patient is viewed as an individual and as such there is no one-size fits all approach to the treatment of sports injuries. Instead your osteopath Helen How will use a variety of osteopathic techniques; ranging from traditional osteopathy<\/a> and cranial osteopathy<\/a> to more modern osteopathic treatments such as electrotherapy<\/a> , Magnetolith EMTT<\/a> and vibrotherapy<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” padding_top_bottom_link_1=”true” padding_top_bottom_link_2=”false” padding_left_right_link_1=”true” module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” parallax_method_1__hover=”on” parallax_method_1__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_2__hover=”on” parallax_method_2__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_3__hover=”on” parallax_method_3__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_4__hover=”on” parallax_method_4__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_5__hover=”on” parallax_method_5__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_6__hover=”on” parallax_method_6__hover_enabled=”on” border_radii__hover=”on||||” border_radii__hover_enabled=”on||||” animation_repeat__hover=”once” animation_repeat__hover_enabled=”once”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_line_height=”2em” header_2_font=”Cormorant Garamond|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”45px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”|||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”42px” header_2_font_size_phone=”32px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_font_size=”60px” header_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_font_size=”24px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”|||” text_font_size_tablet=”18px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”50px” header_font_size_phone=”40px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover=”#3C5A01″ link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop”]Sports Injuries are broadly classfied into two main groups: acute & chronic sports injuries.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” padding_top_bottom_link_1=”true” padding_top_bottom_link_2=”false” padding_left_right_link_1=”true” module_class=” et_pb_row_fullwidth” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”0||0||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” parallax_method_1__hover=”on” parallax_method_1__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_2__hover=”on” parallax_method_2__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_3__hover=”on” parallax_method_3__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_4__hover=”on” parallax_method_4__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_5__hover=”on” parallax_method_5__hover_enabled=”on” parallax_method_6__hover=”on” parallax_method_6__hover_enabled=”on” border_radii__hover=”on||||” border_radii__hover_enabled=”on||||” animation_repeat__hover=”once” animation_repeat__hover_enabled=”once”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”1.8em” ul_font_size=”18px” ul_line_height=”1.7em” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_font_size=”60px” header_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_font_size=”24px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”|||” text_font_size_tablet=”18px” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”50px” header_font_size_phone=”40px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover=”#3C5A01″ link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n Acute Sports Injuries occur suddenly when playing or exercising and are characterised by one or more of the following symptoms;

Helen has never failed to to bring immediate relief from painful symptoms & to provide a long-term sustainable management of issues related to my neck, shoulder, hands & most recently my leg…I sustained a ripped hamstring which resulted in extreme pain, horrendous bruising from the buttock to the mid calf, & an inability to stand, walk, sit or sleep with any degree of comfort. Despite hospital treatment, a visit to the GP, and a visit to a local physio… I was in a pretty wretched state. Virtually crawling into Helen\u2019s she exclaimed %22I know what you need%22 & introduced me to her new shock wave machine which blasts away dispelling the blood from the torn muscle & encouraging rapid healing of tissue whilst, at the same time, promoting the production of collagen. I walked out like a new woman!! After just two treatments my symptoms had vanished including the horrendous bruise. I am vey grateful to Helen not only for her excellent treatment but also for staying abreast of new technology on behalf of her patients.

The term Sports Injury is used to define injuries which occur while playing sports or carrying out exercise and can affect any part of the body, including the muscles, bones, joints and connective tissues (tendons and ligaments) with the ankles and knees being some of the most commonly affected areas.<\/p> While sprains and strains tend to be the most frequently occuring sports injury; other sports injuries can include back pain, bone injury such as fractures or breaks, hamstring pulls and strains and head injuries.<\/p> There are a variety of ways in which Sports Injuries occur but some of the most common causes of sports injury are an accident such as a fall or heavy blow which are known as traumatic sports injuries. <\/strong>Sports Injuries which are caused by not warming up properly before beginning to exercise, overtraining or using a inappropriate training or a poor technique are known as overuse injuries such as plantar fasciitis achilles tendinopathy\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> Osteopathy can be particularly effective when used to treat Sports Injuries, or to aid in the rehabilitation of the body after a sports injury has occured. Osteopathy is also extremely successful in treating functional complaints such as reduced joint flexibility and mechanical limitations which affect the ability to engage in sports.<\/p> The holistic approach to osteopathic treatment at the How Osteopathic Clinic ensures that each patient is viewed as an individual and as such there is no one-size fits all approach to the treatment of sports injuries. Instead your osteopath Helen How will use a variety of osteopathic techniques; ranging from traditional osteopathy<\/a> and cranial osteopathy<\/a> to more modern osteopathic treatments such as electrotherapy<\/a> , Magnetolith EMTT<\/a> and vibrotherapy<\/a>.<\/p> [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner equal_height=\"yes\" gap=\"15\"][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1523897106352{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;border-left-color: #679902 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #679902 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #679902 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #679902 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p> Sports Injuries are broadly classfied into two main groups: acute & chronic sports injuries.<\/p> Acute Sports Injuries<\/strong> occur suddenly when playing or exercising and are characterised by one or more of the following symptoms;<\/p> [list style=\"check\" color=\"green\"]<\/p> [\/list]<\/p> [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\" css=\".vc_custom_1523892587026{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;border-left-color: #679902 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #679902 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #679902 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #679902 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p> Chronic Sports Injuries<\/strong> are on-going or permanent injuries which cause pain while engaging in sport or prevent you from playing or exercising as normal.<\/p> Often dismissed as a niggling inconvenience, signs of a chronic sports injury include;<\/p> [list style=\"check\" color=\"green\"]<\/p> [\/list][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner css=\".vc_custom_1591785400024{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;border-left-color: #679902 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #679902 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #679902 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #679902 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}\"][vc_column_text]<\/p> As participation in sports has greatly increased in the last few years it is important that osteopaths maintain and develop a continual professional learning pathway of knowledge skills and experience in the treatment of complaiints affecting the muscular-skeletal body.

Helen has never failed to to bring immediate relief from painful symptoms and to provide a long-term sustainable management of issues related to my neck, shoulder, hands and most recently my leg.<\/em><\/p> Having sprawled like Bambi on a slippery floor I sustained a ripped hamstring which resulted in extreme pain, horrendous bruising from the buttock to the mid calf, and an inability to stand, walk, sit or sleep with any degree of comfort. Despite hospital treatment, a visit to the GP, and a visit to a local physio in the Borders where I now live, I was in a pretty wretched state.<\/em><\/p> Virtually crawling into Helen\u2019s she exclaimed I know what you need and introduced me to her new shock wave machine which blasts away dispelling the blood from the torn muscle and encouraging rapid healing of tissue whilst, at the same time, promoting the production of collagen. I walked out like a new woman!! After just two treatments my symptoms had vanished including the horrendous bruise.<\/em><\/p> I am vey grateful to Helen not only for her excellent treatment but also for staying abreast of new technology on behalf of her patients. She\u2019s a \u2018wonder woman\u2019 in my eyes!<\/em><\/p> Elaine Morris, Edinburgh<\/em><\/p>Why is Osteopathy Effective In Treating Sports Injuries?<\/h2>\n
