Sports Injuries, Athletes, and High Performance
If you have been to GB Chiropractic before then you may have already crossed paths with some of the UK’s top athletes and a number of high-profile sports figures. This is because a number of our chiropractors are highly specialised in the area of sports injuries and sports performance.
Of course, you don’t have to be a professional sports star to avail of the benefits of chiropractic. From Olympic medalists to weekend warriors, we can help everyone involved in a sport or active pursuit. The goals are really the same for all athletes and sports enthusiasts, and even for those who are trying to achieve an exercise goal, train for an event, or make a shift towards a more active lifestyle.
You want to feel good, avoid injury, and function at your best. Simple.
Chiropractic can help you achieve this, and your chiropractor can play a key role in the support system that any person needs to perform optimally and enjoy their sport.
We have worked with people from just about every possible sport: rowing, cycling, rugby, football, golf, tennis, climbing, boxing, MMA and jiu jitsu, running, athletics, triathlon, endurance events, swimming, polo, weight lifting, hockey, skiing, horse riding, equestrian, and para sports - just to name a few! We also work regularly with people from the performing arts, including dancers, acrobats, street performers, opera singers, actors, stunt persons, and film crews. We also have clients and referrers from across the fitness industry, including yoga, pilates, crossfit, spinning and aerobics.
Whatever your active pursuit, sport, or exercise of choice, discover how chiropractic can help you stay well, avoid injury, and perform at your best.
More for Elite Athletes
If you are a high-level athlete, then like most you are probably looking for every possible advantage to ensure your body stays pain-free and in top working order. This helps you to train hard, excel at your sport, and avoid down time due to pain or injuries.
Indeed, many of the world’s top athletes and sports figures rely on regular chiropractic care to help them avoid injury and perform at their best.
If your chiropractor has a sports focus, then they likely have advanced training and experience in the areas of sports injuries, biomechanics, exercise physiology and high performance. They also understand the athlete’s mindset around training and that inborn drive to constantly improve, compete, and push your body to the next level.
From time to time, injuries may inevitably occur and your chiropractor will always be there to help you resolve them as quickly as possible, so you can get back training, competing, and enjoying the sport you love.
Chiropractic adjustments have the added benefit of clearing tension and stress in your body. This helps you to move better, sleep better, heal and recover faster, and can otherwise keep your system in peak condition during the sporting season.
Many of our athletes come in for regular “tune-ups” just to keep things in good working order.
