Understanding Sports Injuries
Sports injuries typically involve the musculoskeletal system — the muscles, bones, joints, and supporting tissues like cartilage. They can result from:
• Acute trauma, such as a sudden twist, fall, or impact
• Overuse, from repetitive movements or poor technique
Common sports injuries include:
- Sprains and strains
- Joint dislocations (such as shoulders or fingers)
- Muscle tears, especially in the hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves
- Injuries to the ankle, knee, wrist, or thumb
- Lower back pain from strain or misalignment
While many sports injuries can be treated effectively, without proper care they may become chronic, reducing mobility and limiting performance.
Getting Treatment
All treatments are carried out at Michael’s practice, where patients receive personalised care in a supportive environment. Each session is designed to ease pain, restore mobility, and provide practical tools for long-term recovery and prevention.
Michael’s Unique Treatment Programme
Michael tailors treatment according to the type and severity of the injury, combining hands-on therapy with rehabilitation guidance. Treatment may include:
- Spinal Vertebrae Alignment to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve
- Shiatsu Massage to relax muscles and ease tension around the lower back and legs
- Back Management Education, where patients learn safe lifting techniques, posture correction, and practical self-care strategies to help prevent flare-ups and protect long-term back health
For dislocations (excluding spinal vertebrae), Michael can also carry out safe joint resets, helping restore function and reduce recovery time.
In Summary
Whether from a sudden impact or repetitive strain, sports injuries can affect performance and quality of life. Michael’s Unique Treatment Programme helps patients recover effectively, regain strength, and return to the activities they love.
