Have you been injured and need help to safely recover? Or are you looking to improve your sporting performance, while reducing the risk of picking up new injuries?
The truth is that most athletes suffer injuries at some stage, whether you are an ultra-elite sports person or just doing it for fun! Injuries can be caused by a specific trauma, muscle overuse or muscular skeletal imbalances that create pain and effect your ability to move.
We can diagnose and treat torn muscles, ligament injuries, sprains, strains and tight muscles. Our treatment plans are designed to relieve your immediate pain and then help you create strategies to improve your long-term health.

How does Osteopathy treatment work?
Osteopathy is really useful as part of an overall regime helping to reduce the risk of further injury, improving flexibility and encouraging relaxation of the body. It works using a series of muscle stretching massage techniques, combined with gentle joint mobilisation.
One of the key benefits of Osteopath, is that it does not involve any medication or invasive surgery. It also works on the entire body. By improving the body function and encouraging a better flow of blood and lymphatics, Osteopathy enables the whole body to start healing itself.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation Exercises
A really important part of our treatment plan, is providing you with personalised rehab and strengthening exercises to do at home. These are designed to help deal with any muscular imbalances and postural problems, building up the weaker muscles and rebalancing your body. These exercises will complement your treatment and are designed to help you get better and prevent or minimize the severity of injury recurrence.
Combining other treatments can boost recovery
Here at Sussex Physical Therapy we also have the option of using Dry Needling, Kinesio Taping and Shockwave Therapy where we think they will be of most benefit to your body. All of these techniques aim to improve the bodies function, mobility and circulation.
