Sports Injuries
Competing whilst still in pain with an injury or trying to fight injuries with the aid of painkillers is often detrimental and can lead to tremendous damage to the joints, ligaments and muscles. It will often lead to recurrent future injuries.
Many active men and women regularly visit a qualified Sports Chiropractor to have injuries diagnosed and treated, to prevent further injuries and/or to find out why they continually get a recurring injury. Our specialist Chiropractors can help to improve an athletes’ overall performance, working with you and your coaches to achieve the best of your body’s ability. The majority of professional teams, athletes and motor racing teams employ Sports Chiropractors to prevent injuries. The sporting world is now coming to realise the high quality level of diagnosis, treatment and injury prevention that a specialist Sports Chiropractor can provide.

Sports Massage
Sports Massage
You don’t have to be injured to benefit from massage! Performers of any sporting level can benefit from an athletic or sports specific massage and at any stage of participation (before, during or after competing) at our Gloucester based clinic. Massage also works well for the actual prevention of an injury, such as a previously tight calf in a runner. Once things have gone wrong and an injury has happened, massage can really get things moving again and help get someone back to achieving their best. Our Massage Therapists are higfhly experienced and have worked at events such as the 2012 London Olympics and the 2014 Athletics Masters. They work closely with our Chiropractors to make sure all injuries are recovering at the fastest possible rate, to get you back doing the things you love!
Our team has worked with many of the local teams in the Gloucester area at all levels, be it Rugby, Football, Athletics, Tennis, Golf, Cricket and many more. We can also provide healthcare support at sporting events. Contact us for more information about how we are able to help.
Free 20 minute sports massage taster sessions are currently available.
