Sports Injuries
What do we treat?
There's nothing mysterious about a sports injury. Most often, the term “sports injury” describes a muscle strain or a sprained ligament and these injuries can happen to anyone. They just happen to be more common on the sports field.
We have a range of therapies at our disposal to get you back to fitness quickly and to help prevent any recurrence of injury. Our osteopaths are all highly trained and experienced in accurate diagnosis of sports injuries, and this is the key to applying the best treatment. Treatment is likely to include massage of tight muscles, mobilisation of restricted joints and, where appropriate, electrotherapy (such as ultrasound). In some circumstances we may also include acupuncture in the treatment plan.
Our Sports Injuries Therapists
Osteopath Steven Bruce has worked alongside the Royal Navy Judo Team and at Kettering Rugby Club, helping return injured sportsmen and women to training and competition as soon as possible. In addition to standard osteopathic treatment, he employs electrotherapy (such as ultrasound and interferential), acupuncture and high-tech gait analysis to treat and prevent sports injuries.
Jay has over 15 years experience in Sports Therapy and was recently awarded the UK’s highest level certification (Dip 5) in Sports and Remedial Massage. He has trained with the Football Association in treatment of acute injuries and currently works with Wellingborough Rugby Football Club. He has worked closely with osteopaths for much of his career and has expertise across a wide range of sporting disciplines.
Our clinic is located in Higham Ferrers, close to Rushden, Northamptonshire. We are also within easy reach of Bedford, Wellingborough, Kimbolton, Northampton and Kettering.
