Osteopathy and Sport

When most people think about osteopathy, they think about it being a treatment for bad backs, and, whilst this is partly correct, osteopaths actually treat the whole musculoskeletal system, i.e. any joint, ligament, or muscle. Whether you have problems with your back, knee or shoulder, or you are suffering with a trapped nerve or sciatica, or you are generally stiff and achy, osteopathy can help.

It is a therapy that involves the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions, and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on how well the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues of the body are functioning.

Osteopaths use a holistic approach which means they consider the body as a unit and not just a collection of individual parts; treatment aims to restore balance to the body as a whole. They will treat the cause of your symptoms and not just the symptomatic area alone. For example, someone may be suffering with lower back pain which may actually be due to poor foot mechanics – the poor foot mechanics transfer forces inappropriately along the leg and pelvis – resulting in pain in the back. The Osteopath would treat all of the areas affected and not just the back.

Treatment techniques used include palpation, massage and stretching of the soft tissues; and manipulation to improve the mobility of joints, reduce muscle tension, and to ensure a good blood and nerve supply to the tissues. Simple exercises may be prescribed along with advice about posture and diet.

Because a thorough case history is taken at the first appointment, the osteopath gains a clear understanding of all the stresses and strains that have in the past, or are currently affecting your body.

Osteopaths are well placed to treat sports people – they can treat existing conditions or help to improve performance. By using their knowledge of diagnosis and their highly developed palpatory skills an osteopath will work to restore structural balance, improve joint mobility and reduce soft tissue restrictions so that ease of movement is restored and performance enhanced.

As well as treating sporting injuries, osteopaths commonly treat back and neck pain, shoulder and arm problems, pelvis, hip and leg problems, and aches and pains associated with structural changes during pregnancy.

To qualify, an osteopath must study for four to five years for an undergraduate degree. This is similar to a medical degree, but there is more emphasis on anatomy and musculoskeletal medicine and includes more than 1,000 hours of training in osteopathic techniques. By law, osteopaths must register with the General Osteopathic Council. The British Medical Association’s guidance for general practitioners states that doctors can safely refer patients to osteopaths.
