If you are training for an event or just trying to get fit for summer, Netherne Osteopathic Practice could help.
Taking part in sport or keeping fit can be rewarding, improve your health and reduce the risk of illnesses such as heart problems, cancer and even dementia.
Adults between the age of 19 - 64 are recommended to do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity activity spread out throughout the week as well as strengthening exercises for the arms, legs and trunk 2-days per week.
Sport has become a way of life for many of us in the UK, with participation ranging from elite athletes to those who just want to keep fit. But what happens if you get an injury that stops you training?
Doing sport too often or too hard may result in injury. Failing to warm up correctly before hand or warm down after may also result in persistent strains. Using equipment inappropriately or wearing the wrong footwear for your chosen activity may likewise hinder your performance and an unresolved prior injury may make it difficult to even get started.
An osteopath will work with you to optimise your training and reduce the risk of an injury occurring in the first place. They can also treat conditions that might be stopping you from reaching your full potential. Why not book an appointment today and see how osteopathy can help you?
