Sports related injuries

require specialized care to promote optimum healing.

Whether you are a weekend jogger or tennis player, a professional soccer player or marathon runner, a child or senior citizen, or even a musician or actress, trauma to the muscles and joints can limit or prevent your participation in these activities.

To provide proper diagnosis and prevent future injuries, we have created OsteoMedSport.

Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine focused on the removal of tension and strains from all bodily tissues. In doing so, it enhances the function of the body and the reduction of pain.

Osteo recognizes that the human body is a complex mechanism of independent systems.  It strives to reestablish a harmonious relationship between these various systems and to normalize their optimal functions.

Our Osteopaths are concerned with total body health.  They believe that the body’s skeletal structures and organ systems are of equal importance to normal health, and that relationship between the two is mutually inter-dependant.

Osteo is not a universal panacea for all ills and does not claim to be.  Rather, it is a unique system of both diagnosis and treatment that can be immensely helpful to active people with problems that originate or are reflected in the musculoskeletal system of the body.

What to expect in a treatment session?

 An osteopathic assessment involves a detailed patient history and complete physical examination.  The osteopath treats the patient through a series of therapeutic adjustments which are painless and often very relaxing. This consists of manual and palpatory tests, to identify the origin of tension and blockages in tissues, joints and organs. Particular attention is given to the function and mobility of many diverse structures such as bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and viscera.

A variety of manual techniques are used to eliminate the cause of a problem and restore proper physiological mobility. 

Typical problems seen by an osteopath include:

Acute & chronic ligamentous sprains

Musculo-tendinous strains

Neck & back pain

Sacro-iliac joint/ pelvic dysfunctions

Muscle imbalances, overuse…

 Sports injury care

 Osteopathic sports medicine is based on a sound understanding of anatomy,physiology & biomechanical inter-relationships and their affects on the bodies of active people and athletes of all calibers.  The sports medicine component places emphasis on a rapid return and maximization of human physical performance.

 Osteopathy is appropriate for the treatment of most biomechanical disorders. Any physically active person with acute or chronic pain can benefit from osteopathic care. 

Athletes in sports where falls and overuse syndromes frequently occur are excellent candidates for osteopathy.  Most musculoskeletal and postural imbalances are successfully treated regardless of the age of the patient of duration of the problem. Unique to osteopathy is the manual treatment of visceral and cranial dysfunctions.   These approaches are often the missing key when conventional therapies have failed or unable to retain their corrections.

Athletic Therapy

Athletic Therapy includes the assessment, prevention, immediate care, and reconditioning of musculoskeletal injuries.

Prevention includes musculoskeletal and postural evaluation, equipment selection, fitting and repair, warm-up, conditioning programs, prophylactic or supportive taping, and adapting to the activity environment and facilities.
 

Our Certified Athletic Therapists assess injuries and conditions, utilize contemporary rehabilitative techniques, therapeutic modalities, soft tissue mobilization, physical reconditioning, and supportive strapping procedures to promote an environment conducive to optimal healing in preparing the individual for safe reintegration into an active lifestyle.

 

Massage Therapy

Our massage therapists focus on the normalization of soft tissues affected by stress, injury, and illness through the use of manual techniques that improve circulation, enhance muscular relaxation, relieve pain, reduce stress, enhance immune function, to promote health and well-being. Massage therapists specialize in the use and application of therapeutic massage techniques.

Reconditioning

Pain management through the use of specific exercises; core stability; strengthening and flexibility programs; and activity-specific conditioning.
