Adam’s specialist area is in the treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries. He works with a wide range of patients from professional athletes to occasional golfers. Whatever level of sport you participate at, having an injury properly assessed and treated will help ensure a quicker and safer progression back to full activity.
Whether your injury is from repetetive over-use or has resulted from a sudden event such as a twist or fall, Adam’s aim is to get you back to performing at your best. This involves:
- A specific diagnosis of the injury
- Advice as to whether further investigations, such as x-rays or MRI scans, are appropriate
- A clear treatment plan and rehabilitation programme
A posture and biomechanical assessment in the first visit will also help to identify risk-factors which may have contributed to the injury taking place. These often include:
- Poor posture and spinal mobility
- Poor core stability
- Weakness or mis-firing of certain muscle groups during activity
- Lack of physical fitness
- Insufficient warm-up before sport
- Insufficient stretching routine after sport
Many of these factors can be helped effectively with the right homecare advice.
Adam also works closely with a range of healthcare pracitioners in Bristol and is able to recommmend whether other treatment options may be beneficial. These often include acupuncture, physiotherapy, podiatry, pilates, yoga and personal training.
