WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT FROM YOUR APPOINTMENT?
Your appointment will follow a similar format to the standard osteopathy appointment with a few key differences.
During the case history we will discuss information relevant to your sport. This may include but is not limited to:
Current goals e.g. upcoming races or competitions,
Your training schedule and where you are in your training plan if you have one
Frequency and intensity of training
Advice or support you have received from your coach
Experience in your chosen sport
Areas of focus e.g. technique, speed, endurance
Your feelings towards training and injury
The assessment may include movements specific to your chosen sport, such as a golf swing for example, if the pain or symptoms are only brought on at a particular moment and not frequently recreated in ‘normal’ life. You should attend your appointment dressed to move – sport/gym kit is suitable. You may be asked to expose the area by removing layers to assist with diagnosis.
You can expect to receive a home exercise programme to help support your Osteopathic treatment.

SPORTS INJURIES IN CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS
Many older children/teenagers are heavily involved in sport, committing many hours a week to training and competition. The clinic will provide a supportive environment to help your sporty teen navigate their pain and injury.
Our practitioners understand children are not simply ‘mini adults’; the treatment approach will be specifically tailored to the developmental stage of the individual.
All patients under 16 will require a parent or guardian to remain present throughout the entire consultation.
