At New Forest Sports Massage we aim to help you recover as quickly as possible, whether it be to reduce your pain, get you moving better or giving you advice on your injury.
Tissues heal at different rates, for an acute injury that has been present for up to 2 weeks it may take 3 or 4 treatments to heal, however, a tissue that has been damaged for a longer period may take more sessions, even months of treatments for more complex conditions. These are guidelines and many variables can change how your tissues heal. The osteopath will review your progress at each subsequent visit and seek your consent to any changes to your treatment plan.
Think of your osteopath as a translator between you and your body/mind. We aim to diagnosis the tissue causing you the issues, provide hands on treatment and then pass the reigns on to you. This may be advice on nutrition, postural and exercise advice or lifestyle changes that are likely to be holding your recovery back.
At New Forest Sports Massage we believe in you getting the results you want to achieve and will support you as much as we can to provide long lasting results. We know the patients that progress the quickest are the ones who commit to completing their treatment plan and exercises. It is important to understand that the time outside of the treatment room is also vital to your recovery.
