At Alex Prince Osteopathy, myself and my colleagues are able to provide patients with a specialist sports injury therapist service in Bristol for specific injuries and sport-related issues.
The most frustrating time for clients who love sporting activities is when they are unable to take part due to injury.
This is the case at whatever level a patient plays a sport.
Sport provides many with an enjoyable and consistent way of staying healthy, giving us physical and mental exercise, and keeping alive with positive purpose.
For some patients, the sense of loss when injured can also take a toll on their mental health, as sport is a significant part of their weekly lives.
I know from my own experience as a keen competitive sportsman that it is important to get sports injuries fixed fast.
A Bristol Osteopath is not always the first and most obvious professional to consult when you have a sports injury, but myself and colleague, Felix are well placed to manage an injured athlete.
Osteopaths in Bristol with a sports-related background are trained to diagnose injuries throughout the body for patients from many different sporting disciplines.
Osteopaths aim to consider the whole body in a holistic way, and therefore identify other areas of the body where problems may be less evident but in effect.
An osteopath in Bristol will identify weak or vulnerable areas that may cause problems in the future if not addressed, treated, or dealt with.
I've been a qualified and practicing Osteopath for 26 years and have specialised from the start of my career in sports-related injuries. My colleague Felix also has a specialist interest in sports injuries.
We’ve been fortunate enough to manage sports injuries for athletes of all ages, and from professionals to novices.
Between us we have looked after professional rugby teams, hockey players, pro cricketers and triathletes. We have also treated novices and young aspiring athletes.
We aim to manage every sports-related injury, and help every patient to reach their optimum level of health and athletic ability.
Here at Alex Prince Osteopathy in Henleaze, I have Felix Adamson-Walter a fantastic Osteopath who is very focused on sports-related injuries and a keen sportsman himself.
Osteopathic treatments in Bristol can go so far with sports-based injuries, but I also have an extended team on hand to support all our athletic patients at all levels.
Charlie McCall is an experienced and well-qualified Sports Physio, whilst Flo Dannah is our in-clinic Sports Injury Massage Therapist, as well as being an elite level ex-terra triathlete.
The team at Alex Prince Osteopathy are proud to be associated with Active8 Health & Fitness where a committed team of personal trainers can take patient rehab to the next level.
Overall, we are able to assist with all sports-related injuries.
Where a medical referral is required, we are also able to refer patients on for further intervention or surgery.
