Sedentary and active adults may seek individualized osteopathic care when pain, mobility or movement concerns affect training or daily activity. Whether you have an office job, or a physically demanding job, Osteopathic treatment aims to improve your quality of life. By removing tissue restrictions, the body can rest and move more comfortably, leading to less pain.
Osteopathic Care for Athletes
For those under constant physical stress of training and performance, Osteopathic treatment works to integrate all the moving parts of the body together, the way an athlete needs them to. No matter the sport, assessment and treatment may be beneficial to creating longevity and pain-free performance in the individual.
Assessment for Movement and Mobility
The assessment looks at how the body moves and functions as a connected system before treatment is chosen. Your body functions as a whole unit. In order to run faster or kick a ball harder, all pieces must fit together perfectly. Assessment and treatment looks for these rigid pieces and through tissue treatment, helps relax the tissues to help the body restore function.
Supporting Training and Recovery
Care can be considered alongside an active lifestyle when pain or mobility concerns are getting in the way of training or normal activity. Treatments should be done after a training session, not before. The reason being that the body is now in a different position, and the nervous system takes time to integrate and solidify the new positions. A day or two after treatment is recommended to help the treatment and changes intertwine deeper into the nervous system.
