Our Approach to Sports Injury Rehabilitation  

1. Osteopathic Assessment and Treatment  

Hands-on techniques to:  

  • Relieve pain and restore mobility.  
  • Address biomechanical imbalances contributing to your injury.  
  • Provide guidance on injury prevention and posture correction.  

2. Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) 

ESWT is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to:  

  • Stimulate healing in damaged tendons and soft tissues.  
  • Reduce pain and inflammation.  
  • Break down scar tissue and calcifications (e.g., in shoulder or hip tendinitis).  

Conditions Treated with ESWT:  

  • Chronic tendinopathies (Achilles, patellar, rotator cuff).  
  • Plantar fasciitis.  
  • Hamstring and calf injuries.  

3. Sports Therapy Modalities  

We use advanced modalities to accelerate healing, including:  

  • Deep Tissue and Sports Massage: Promotes tissue repair and reduces swelling.  
  • Electrotherapy (TENS/EMS): Relieves pain and re-educates muscles.  
  • Kinesiology Taping: Supports injured areas while allowing movement.  
  • Infrared Heat: Reduces inflammation and pain post-injury.  

4. Tailored Rehabilitation Exercises 

Our rehab programs are designed to:  

  • Restore strength, flexibility, and balance.  
  • Prevent re-injury with sport-specific drills.  
  • Include eccentric strengthening for tendinopathies and proprioceptive training for joint stability.  

Effectiveness and Recovery Rates 

  • Faster Recovery: Many patients experience significant improvement within 4-6 weeks for acute injuries and 6-12 weeks for chronic conditions.  
  • High Success Rates: Studies show 70-80% improvement in chronic tendon injuries with ESWT and osteopathic care.  
  • Return to Sport: Athletes often resume activity 20-30% faster compared to traditional rehab methods.

"I’m glad to say I’m 98% pain free with no pain relief!"

Thanks for all the help over the past few months – when I started the programme it was my last resort before surgery and at times I feared surgery was my only option but you made me stick with it and I’m glad to say I’m 98% pain free with no pain relief! I’ll continue with the exercises and at some stage in the near future I hope to broaden my exercise to include yoga and possibly swimming! I’ll make sure to leave you a review and to spread the good word 🙂 Thanks again Caoimhe
