Sports injuries don't just happen to athletes 🏃

Gardeners, factory workers, painters — anyone doing repetitive physical work is at risk.

And if you've been dealing with a nagging injury that stretches, ice, and rest haven't shifted, it might be time to get an assessment.

At Evolve Osteopathy I don't just treat where it hurts. I look at why it's happening — working through soft tissue tension, clearing inflammation with lymphatic techniques, and considering how sleep, stress and nutrition are affecting your recovery.

Because healing properly isn't just about the joint. It's about the whole person.

OSTEOPATHY AND SPORTS MASSAGE:

There are many benefits of combining sportsmassage with osteopathy.

With my background as a Sports Massage Therapist I will always use soft tissue manipulation and Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) to relax the muscles, prepared the muscles for joint articulation or manipulation or simply use massage to treat underlying trigger points, contracture and tension.

Is it sciatica? Or something else?

"Sciatica" is one of those words that gets used for almost any type of back and leg pain — but it actually means something quite specific.

In this blog I break down the difference between Sciatica and referred pain so you have more clarity and understanding about your symptoms.

Any questions?

Low back pain and leg pain are among the most common presentations I see at Evolve Osteopathy — and one of the most common sources of confusion is the difference between referred pain and true nerve pain. People often use the word "sciatica" to describe both, but they're not the same thing

Poor posture doesn't always cause pain — and pain isn't always caused by poor posture.

The research is shifting: it's often not the position you're in, it's how long you stay there without moving.

That said, when your body is better aligned and balanced, it functions better. And better function is what keeps pain from coming back.

At Evolve Osteopathy, every new consultation starts with a full postural assessment — not to chase "perfect" posture, but to understand your body's patterns and address the root causes.
Function first. Always. 🙌

Posture has long been blamed for back pain, neck tension, and headaches — but the picture is more nuanced than that. Research increasingly suggests it's less about the posture itself, and more about staying still for too long . Poor posture can absolutely be a predisposing and maintaining factor i...
