As an Osteopath my aim is to ease the pain associated the loss of function of the joint on a long term basis and to allow you to get on with your life. I explain why I think the problem has occurred, what is causing the problem, and, along with treatment, suggest ways to speed recovery and prevent reoccurrence.
Aches and pains are there for a reason and are signs that your body isn't working correctly. Injuries, bad posture and unnecessary tension are acquired as we go through life. The body tries to heal the problems, but if the strain is too great to heal fully, it then compensates. Gradually these injuries build up until the body is no longer able to compensate. This is when symptoms such as stiffness or pain develop.
