Knees. They're the unsung heroes of everyday life, carrying the weight of your groceries, your children, your wild dance moves at weddings, and your weekend hikes. So when a knee starts acting up, it can really throw a wrench in your day-today life. Whether it's a sports injury, a strain from gardening, or simply wear and tear over time, knee pain is no joke - but luckily, help is right around the corner. At The Oast we believe in treating the whole person, not just the problem. That's why we've assembled a dream team of experts in Sittingbourne and Sheppey to get you back on your feet, feeling better than ever. Here's how we can help:
Osteopathy: The Foundation of Healing:
Our Osteopaths are like detectives of the body, searching for the root cause of your knee pain, whether it's coming from the joint itself or compensations elsewhere (hello, hips and lower back!). Though gentle, hand-on techniques, we work to restore movement, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation around the knee and the rest of your body. Think of it as a reboot for your body mechanics!
Sports Therapy: Rehab with a Purpose
Whether you twisted your knee during a weekend football match or it's a result of overuse, our sports therapists are here to guide you though tailored rehab. They'll help improve strength, flexibility, and function, while also giving you the confidence to move again without fear. Plus, you'll get take-home exercises (yes, homework - but the good kind!)
Relaxing Massage: Soothing More Than Muscles
You might not associate relaxation with knee recovery, but don't underestimate the power of therapeutic massage. It helps reduce surrounding muscle tension, eases discomfort, and promotes better circulation for healing. Not to mention - it's also a great excuse to lie down and be pampered (doctor's orders!).
Pilates: Strong Knees Start at the Core
Pilates isn't just for dancers and Instagram influencers. It's a brilliant, low-impact way to strengthen the muscles that support your knees, improve balance, and boost body awareness. Our tailored sessions focus on building a stable, resilient body - one that protects your joints and keeps moving with ease.
Shockwave Therapy: Modern Magic for Stubborn Pain
For those persistent, nagging knee issues, like chronic tendonitis or patellar pain. Shockwave Therapy can be a game-changer. It uses sound waves (no, not the kind from your favourite playlist!) to stimulate healing and reduce pain. It's quick, non-invasive, and highly effective for long-standing problems that just won't budge.
The Best Part? You Don't Have to Choose Just One!
We're big believers in teamwork. Our practitioners work together, combining their skills to create a personalised, well-rounded plan just for you. Whether you need a little bit of everything or a focused approach, we're here to support your recovery every step of the way - with a smile.
