Elite athletes as well as individuals leading active lives find it beneficial to visit City Osteopathy. Besides pain relief and increased comfort, osteopathy enhances  the physical performance of athletes who undergo rigorous training and also individuals who occasionally dabble in physical activities.

Are osteopaths only for athletes?

You don’t need to be an athlete to take advantage of the services rendered by the best osteopaths in Melbourne.  If you participate in demanding physical activities due to job requirements or for recreational reasons, you should give osteopathy a try.

Other reasons for obtaining osteopathy services from a Melbourne-based osteopath are limited joint mobility, muscle and ligament pain and any back issues.

Can osteopathy be used as injury prevention and minimise ongoing issues?

Osteopathy is a field of manual medicine which can be used as preventive management and is beneficial in a number of situations:

  • If you’re an athlete who wants to maintain great shape and function throughout the season, we highly recommend visiting an osteopath on a regular basis. Sessions with your therapist will help in reducing the risk of injuries and damage.
  • Rehab exercises and increased movement obtained from osteopathy sessions help to prepare the body for rigorous physical activities. These improvements can increase overall power, increase range of motion, enhance flexibility and improve overall respiratory capabilities.
  • After a game or intense physical exertion, osteopathic medicine or therapy alleviates pain related to sprain, alignment issues, traumas, and overuse.

A visit to an osteopathy practitioner can help you reach your performance goals as an athlete. Osteopathy in Melbourne serves as effective prevention therapy to reduce the risk for injuries  among athletes at the pre-game stage and assists in fast recuperation of the body from damage, trauma, and injuries which may result during or after the game.
