Can a Bristol Osteopath help with injury rehab?

As an experienced Bristol Osteopath a common issue I see is patients needing help with injury rehab.

Injuries are not just painful but really frustrating. I often see patients struggling to manage injury rehab and are impatient to feel better and get active again.

This can be even more evident when we see better weather and more of us want to be outdoors and enjoy active pursuits in good Summer weather.

Whether it is a sports injury, a gardening-related strain, a household fall or slip, a general accident or a posture-related injury it can be painful and cause unwanted interruption to our lives.

Patients visiting my Henleaze osteopathic clinic want to get better, and fast.

One of the key factors to consider when it comes to injury rehab is early diagnosis and treatment.

Effective treatment and injury rehab speeds recovery and helps to prevent re-injury.

A good osteopath in Bristol will be well-equipped and perfectly qualified to diagnose and treat these issues for patients.

I look to find the cause, treat the injury, and promote health and overall balance in the patient's body. This means the body can recover more rapidly.

When it comes to injury rehab, specific exercises are essential to recover fast and get back to normal.

 Patients usually need to strengthen their bodies to minimise future injury-related issues from happening again.

For example, restarting an activity or sport after an injury should be carefully periodised by a health professional or sports trainer/coach so the body can get used to the new regime after an injury.

The approach of an experienced Bristol Osteopath with injury rehab will be to promote equilibrium in the body by encouraging and developing core and joint stability.

Many patients carry out injury rehab exercises until they feel better and then let the regime slip. If there is still a weakness, this can make them prone to the risk of re-injury.

Maintenance and prevention can help to reduce the likelihood of re-injury.

Overall injury rehab depends on healthy physiology, good nutrition and regular hydration. Restorative, regular sleep also plays a major part.
