Treat Your Sports Injury the Right Way with Manual therapy

It’s important to be healthy when you’re doing your sport, whether you’re a professional athlete or a weekend warrior.
Any injury that occurs during physical activity can be identified as a sports injury. If you have suffered one, Jenna Howe Osteopathy and Concussion Recovery can get you off of the sidelines and back in the game.
With the help of one of our dedicated osteopathic therapists in Victoria, BC, you’re not just waiting for your injury to heal. You’re going to get back to the sport you enjoy faster, and you’re going to reduce your risk of injuring yourself again in the future.
What can manual therapy do for me?
Our osteopathic therapists are movement specialists. They can help you achieve your physical goals. In order to help you get back in the game as soon as possible, they will recommend an individualized treatment plan based on your personal needs.
In order to improve your range of motion and minimize scar tissue, your treatment plan may include manual therapy, stretching to improve balance and mobility, and strengthening exercises to improve the affected area and surrounding areas.
First, a therapist will perform a series of tests and ask you questions about your medical history, symptoms, and fitness goals. Any diagnostic tests you’ve received, such as x-rays, MRIs, or ultrasounds, will also be reviewed. The essence of your injury, fitness level, and lifestyle will also be taken into account when your treatment plan is developed.
All of these steps are taken in order to help you heal and prevent more injuries from occurring in the future after a sports injury.

Depending on how serious the injury is, your health history, and whether or not the injury requires surgery, your care plan and recovery period may vary.
