Sports Injury Massage & Treatment Clinic

Sports Injury Osteopathy Treatments covering Croydon & the Surrounding areas

From back pain to frozen shoulder, tennis elbow to tendinopathies to arthritic conditions, and every muscle and joint in between, osteopaths will undertake a thorough examination to establish the cause of your issue and provide a package of care and advice tailored to your needs.

Why Choose an Osteopath for Your Sports Injury?

The use of osteopathy in sports injuries can help as a means to detect, treat and prevent a number of injuries. Most people who choose to see an Osteopath for sports injuries suffer from conditions that affect the muscles, bones, ligaments and joints. An in-depth assessment using Osteopathic and Orthopaedic tests are used to establish the tissue causing symptom and mechanical imbalance in the area.

Why Do Sports Injuries Happen?

Sport plays a huge role in many people’s lives, with many involving themselves in a range of different activities as both a hobby and to keep fit. Many sport’s injuries are a result of playing too hard or not performing proper warm-ups and cool-downs.

Age has a critical impact on who is likely to be injured during sport’s activities as well. Older and younger participants put greater physical demands on themselves. However, although sport’s injuries are extremely common, they can be relatively easy to treat. 

How Can Osteopathy Help Treat Those With a Sports Injury?

Osteopaths can help to improve performances within sports as well as treat injuries that may have occurred. They can help to restore structural balance, ease of movement and joint mobility which can greatly enhance performance.

After in in depth assessment, osteopaths use treatment that encourages the joints range of motion, which in turn reduces pain and stiffness within the muscles and ligaments by increases blood flow to the affected areas.

Osteopathy helps to look for and remove the underlying cause of pain rather than just treating the symptoms. We work in a way that helps to restore your body to a state of balance by using physical manipulation, stretching and massaging.

  • I’ve been seeing David for 10+ years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I’ve recently taken my 15year old son to David as he has had some health issues effecting his muscles and joints, he has experienced immediate improvements. I also recommended my mum who sees another member of the team and again, is really pleased with the treatment and outcome 5⭐️

    Been seeing Paul for a couple of months now for my neck pain, had been using another fairly local osteopaths before and didn’t really seem to be making any progress, but since finding here it’s been much better. I suffer really badly with tension in my neck which leads to real bad headaches, and can highly recommend this place for anyone who suffers the same issue as Paul has helped me massively.

  • David has been treating my lower back pain. He provides a very professional service, and has a wealth of knowledge. Sanderstead Osteopath is a welcoming, cosy and clean clinic. On bad days when I have hardly been able to walk due to the pain, after David's treatment I feel I can do star jumps! The instant relief is noticeable. Parking is nearby which is very convenient. I highly recommend anyone to come here, you won't be disappointed.

    I’ve visited Tom at Sanderstead Osteopaths since March for postnatal neck and back issues and then subsequent issues with my neck from looking after a baby (and now toddler) and he’s absolutely superb. I’d highly recommend him!

    I took my newborn daughter to David due to her being very gassy and unsettled. Within the first week of David seeing her she was a lot more settled and was sleeping for a lot longer at night. I would highly recommend the treatment here with David for anyone with newborns with similar issues.

    Have seen both David and Clare on and off over the last 4 years with lower back pain/stiffness. They really know their stuff and have always provided me with solutions to my lower back. My job is quite demanding and doesn't help the pain (lots of driving and lifting) but knowing David and Clare will always be there to help at Sanderstead Osteopaths it puts my mind at rest. I started going weekly and with the regular treatments it's eased the pain so now I am going every 2-4 weeks. I would highly recommend either of these guys!

    Thanks to Tom for treating me before and after my Marathon last year – I literally would not have been able to do it without him. He also treated me for a pulled shoulder and neck pain. I'll definitely use Sanderstead Osteopaths again – highly recommend! 👍

  • I had treatments for backache and neck pain with both Tom and David, during pregnancy and after birth. I found the sessions really beneficial, they were gentle but straight to the point causing the pain. My mother sorted her backache in 4 treatments too. And I also got my newborn treated which helped her as she is much more relaxed now. I definitely recommend this clinic, osteopathy is good at any stage of life.

    Great experience with Sanderstead Osteopaths. I began treatment due to a sports injury in my leg which greatly reduced my mobility. In all honesty, I just looked up osteopaths near me and these lads came up. Couldn’t be more happy with their work. My progress to recovery has taken time and obviously money to get to where I am now (back to 95%) but I couldn’t be more pleased. All of my treatment was by Paul Harmes. If you need something to be looked at, consider these guys. C
