Do you have a sporting event coming up, but your shoulder pain is interfering with your training? Or, are you the occasional runner and you would love to train more, but you keep getting shin splints? An Osteopath will not only diagnose and treat the injury, but will also look at ways to prevent the injury from re-occurring. For both the occasional athlete and the elite athlete, it is equally important to treat any injuries that arise as soon as possible.
A delay to treatment or no treatment at all can worsen an injury and cause a secondary, compensatory trauma elsewhere in the body. This in turn slows your recovery down for the primary injury and can also increase the likelihood of further injuries.
