The majority of us have experienced back pain at some time or other leading to time taken off work or family commitments, time away from our chosen sport or hobby. It is one of the most common reasons people go to see their GP. It is also the most common reason people go and see an Osteopath. For the large majority of cases back pain is not a serious underlying issue instead a simple mechanical issue such as an overstrain to muscles, ligaments, joints or sometimes discs.
The majority of back pain we see, results from lifting awkwardly, time spent at a desk sitting in the same position for hours on end, wear and tear from manual work or sporting activities. Osteopathy treatment is shown to be effective at reducing pain and stiffness caused by these stresses on the back. To help you back to being pain free Rupert uses manual techniques such as massage, stretches and joint articulation to improve spinal mobility and reduce muscle stiffness. It is a good idea to seek help earlier rather than later as it is more difficult to solve back issues in the early stages. Rupert has been successfully diagnosing and treating back pain for last ten years, if you have any questions on how Rupert can help you just get in touch for a no obligation chat.
