" A Patient's opinion"

Sometimes it's best to let other people have their say .... and it's always lovely to hear that someone feels a whole lot better after their treatment!

"TREATMENT" 💆🏼‍♂️

Now we are getting onto the good part!

There are many different options for treatment when you see an osteopath, from soft tissue or massage, mobilisation, manipulation, and exercise and self-hip prescription.

Most people will feel improvement in their symptoms after just one session, but it depends on how long you've had your problem. Every person is different and their body's healing response may work at a different speed.

"MOVE BETTER"

Have you got ‘Lockdown back’ or ‘tech neck’? Let’s get you moving better…

As life moves forward, it’s time to tackle those habits that have led to ‘Lockdown back’ and ‘tech neck’ and get you moving again.

In 2020, many people suddenly stopped their normal work or exercise routines and instead, found themselves sitting for longer in front of screens, whether TVs or laptops. Many of us had no option but to work or study from the couch, dining table, or even our beds, snatching hours to get things done in between childcare or working late as we shared computers.

With gyms, classes and sports restricted, exercise was limited. The stress, anxiety and fatigue didn’t help. Whenever you have a change in lifestyle like this it can influence your health. Inevitably, after a few months, backs, necks, shoulders may have started to ‘complain’. Sometimes this is new, sometimes it has led to a flare-up of old symptoms.

So, let’s break those habits that have led to these issues and get you moving again!

"Will it hurt?"

To be honest with you ... sometimes it will hurt! But we are not evil! And we will always work within your pain threshold.

As some areas of your body may be inflammed due to injury it can be a bit tender at times to have osteopathic treatment - for the most part, patients find that the experience of having a treatment is quite a pleasant one. It feels really good to move areas that are restricted and stretch muscles that are tight - think about when take a huge stretch when you get up in the morning ...

"Postural assessment"

Osteopaths look at the way you move or don't move, to be able to understand what is going on inside of you. Areas of restriction can lead to reduced function of an area, poor blood supply and ultimately pain. Our goal is to get you moving better again and back to doing what you love!

“Live like it’s spring” 💐

A positive mental attitude is one of the pillars of good health. Despite the situation that you might find yourself in, try to find one positive that you can take out of it .... even if it’s as simple as the fact that you’ve made it through!

“Highly-specialised sense of touch” ✋🏼

One of the skills we learn as osteopaths is to develop our sense of touch. We use this to feel for differences in muscle tone, skin temperature and changes in movement of joints. Every piece of information that comes through our fingers and hands gives us clues as to why you are in pain.

“Well-educated” 👩🏼‍🎓

Osteopaths study for a minimum of 4 years at university level to get an understanding of your body. We learn about anat oh and physiology, pathology and clinical diagnosis, movement and exercise, as well as all the hands-on techniques that we need to get your body moving again. It’s a lot of work but the more we understand about the working of the human body, the better our treatments become.

“Getting to know you” ⠀
⠀
The first part of osteopathy is understanding you, the patient. ⠀
⠀
Osteopaths will ask lots of questions about your current problem, your past medical history, your hobbies and activities so that they can get to know how you function in day to day life. This gives lots of clues and inside information on what may be the cause of your pain. ⠀
