When considering exercises that are good for us, there are so many options; for general health, muscle and joint health and for rehabilitation…… As well as recommendations and talk of pilates, yoga, swimming, cycling, and even personal training, it can be hard to know where to start!
Did you know that Osteopath’s treat more than just your muscles and joints? Osteopath’s not only look at the musculoskeletal system, but also treat through the other body systems to help create optimal health!
As an Osteopath and Pilates instructor I’m always asked about what I do, and why - both on the treatment table and then in the Pilates studio. And what my approach to treatment and rehabilitation is. This is a great question to answer!!!
Are you training for a marathon or running event? We want to be part of your team to make sure you make it to the finish line - injury free! Before you start pounding the pavement, we want you to be aware of ways to prevent or manage common running injuries. Training towards your big event might take months. This is a marathon, not a sprint!
Dry needling can be used as a treatment modality by our Osteopaths to help treat muscle pain, trigger points, spasm and tightness. It is described as “dry needling” because no fluid is being injected or removed. In fact, the needles required for this technique can be as thin as a human hair.
Inflammation is the body’s natural reaction to a stimulus that is causing a response to injury, infection or stresses and strains.
As a very busy society, from working, looking after family and kids, exercising, socializing and being generally busy, we are often under some sort of strain in our body. This can manifest in back pain, whether it be in the older or younger population.
For many older individuals, the belief is that the effects of aging and associated symptoms is an inevitable part of life and the pain and restriction that can result from this is untreatable and often the premise is that you just have “live with it”.
One of the most common questions we are asked as Osteopaths is "Should I use Heat or Ice for my pain?"
