Sports Injuries

 


Osteopath treatment is invaluable both in treating sports injuries and helping professional and amateur sports people and athletes obtain peak performance and prevent injuries. Osteopaths take the whole body into consideration, obtaining optimal alignment and mobility of all joint and the correct muscle balance, which are coupled with both strengthening and stretching exercises that are specific to the persons sport and body type. Philip used to work at the British School of Osteopathy Sports Clinic where, amongst others, he treated Olympic athletes and professional sports persons.
