Osteopathy for (elite) athletes
As an athlete, you place significant demands on your body. Training, competition and recovery need to be carefully balanced. When restrictions in mobility or patterns of tension develop in the body, they may affect your technique, physical capacity and recovery.
At Osteo Elout, I look beyond the area where you experience symptoms and consider the body as a whole. I assess which factors may influence your injury, recovery or recurring symptoms. My background in physiotherapy and manual therapy, combined with my knowledge of exercise physiology, allows me to approach sports-related complaints from different perspectives.
Examples of conditions and symptoms athletes may seek treatment for include:
- Sports injuries and overuse complaints
- Recurring muscle or tendon problems
- Knee, hip, ankle or foot complaints
- Shoulder, neck or back pain related to sport
- Symptoms that return when increasing training intensity or volume
- Difficulty recovering after training or competition
- Restrictions in mobility that affect technique or physical capacity
- Complaints following a sprain, fall or contact injury
- Physical complaints associated with running, cycling, swimming or team sports
