Bespoke treatments tailored to your needs
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is based on a philosophy of good fluid flow throughout the body. Muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints can cause reduced fluid flow which makes our bodies less efficient.
Our bodies are complex and we rely on a wiring system (nerves) and fluid system (blood and lymph) to maintain our function.
Osteopathy considers both when assessing injuries (sporting and non-sporting) to give you a diagnosis, treatment and maintenance plan. Osteopathy is focused on helping to improve the patients general mobility through treatment and prescribed exercises but also tissue mobility around joints and organs.
Osteopathy is a recognised treatment by the NHS and Osteopaths are recognised Allied Heath Professionals with the necessary training to assess and treat muscle, joint and nerve pain injuries from head to toe.
Titleist Performance Institute (Golf) Assessment
The Diploma in 'Body Swing Connection' provides specialised assessment tools screen for physical restrictions that are affecting the efficiency of your swing. The ability to highlight key biomechanical restrictions allows for direct feedback to work directly with your Golf Professional to tailor a programme to achieve and manage the most efficient golf swing for you.
Golfers often unnecessarily suffer with pain during and after their rounds. The combination of the ‘Body Swing Connection’ and Medical Practitioner qualifications help to assess for both physical restrictions (mobility) but also ability to engage muscles in the correct order (efficient power).
Medical Acupuncture
Medical Acupuncture is a therapeutic treatment modality which uses fine needles to stimulate the nervous system. The main effect is on pain levels through the inhibition (blocking) of the pain receptors. Another benefit is that the needling aids to increase of blood flow to the localised area. This can be particularly useful with deep musculature as the needle can initiate a response in the muscle prior to the more superficial muscles being appropriately softened.
Medical Acupuncture differs from Traditional Chinese Medicinal Acupuncture as it uses conventional medical assessment and current anatomical, physiology and pathology to determine the treatment with no focus on Qi or Ying and Yang.
Musculoskeletal (Msk) Diagnostic Ultrasound
Musculoskeletal (Msk) Diagnostic Ultrasound is a medical test that to help practitioners to diagnose and treat injuries. Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves (no radiation) to provide images of the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joints through out the body.
This can be used to diagnose sprains, strains, tears and fractures but also can be instrumental in providing real-time imaging of injured tissue and therefore help to make accurate decisions on ‘return to play’ to reduce the chance of further injury. The imaging can also show signs of joint arthritis, is very sensitive to hairline fractures and to fluid collections (oedema or blood).
Electro Muscular Stimulation
Electro Muscular Stimulation (EMS or E-Stim) can be used to aid injury recovery. The EMS provides a small electrical stimulation to the muscles to mimic the impulses from the nervous system. This has the effect of causing an unaided (not a conscious action by the patient) contraction of the muscle.
The repeated contraction of an injured muscle can help to improve the blood flow aiding recovery. The stimulation of the muscle, replicating the nervous system input to contract, can also aid in improving nerve activation by training the neural connection. Repeated contraction of the muscle can over time help to increase strength.
After an injury joint and muscle function can be compromised through adaption to pain and EMS can aid in the retraining of correct muscular patterns by stimulating and over-riding poor muscle pattern activation.
Sports Massage
Sports Massage is a form of massage involving the manipulation of the soft tissues to aid and benefit all ranges of individuals involved in physical activity. Sports Massage Therapists have a more in-depth knowledge of the causes and treatment of common injuries than massage therapists and are trained to use a variety of massage and articulation techniques to help prevent and rehabilitate a range of tissues including muscle, tendons and ligaments. These techniques can be used pre and post-event as well as to complement training for events by improving fluid flow.
