Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy at Back to Back focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal disorders. Our osteopaths use hands-on techniques to improve mobility, relieve pain, and enhance overall well-being. Patients benefit from tailored treatment plans addressing back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries. The approach integrates postural advice and exercise recommendations to prevent recurrence, ensuring long-term relief and functional improvement.
Sports Injury Clinic
Our Sports Injury Clinic specialises in treating athletic injuries through targeted osteopathic care and rehabilitation. We address sprains, strains, and overuse injuries, combining manual therapy with strength and conditioning advice. The goal is to accelerate recovery, restore performance, and reduce future injury risks. Athletes receive personalised recovery strategies aligned with their training schedules and competitive goals.
Soft Tissue Massage
Soft Tissue Massage at Back to Back alleviates muscle tension and improves circulation through deep-tissue techniques. This service targets chronic pain, postural imbalances, and stress-related discomfort. Sessions are customised to individual needs, promoting relaxation, recovery, and enhanced mobility for both athletes and non-athletes seeking relief from physical strain.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical Acupuncture complements osteopathic treatment by targeting muscular pain and inflammation. Fine needles stimulate specific points to release tension, improve blood flow, and aid healing. This evidence-based approach effectively manages conditions like chronic back pain, headaches, and joint dysfunction, offering patients a non-invasive option for pain relief and functional restoration.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation programmes at Back to Back focus on restoring mobility and strength after injury or surgery. Tailored exercise plans and manual therapy address individual recovery needs, integrating postural correction and movement retraining. The service supports patients in achieving full functional recovery, preventing re-injury, and maintaining long-term musculoskeletal health through proactive self-care strategies.
