Osteopathy and Postural Strain

Driving, working at the computer for a long time, hanging on the phone, we all have to hold ourselves in un-natural postures for longer than we would like to.

If we keep doing these things, muscles can shorten and body tissues become stiff and stagnant. The natural flow of blood in and out of our body’s tissues is reduced. The oxygenation and nutrition of these tissues is reduced and immobility, stiffness and general dysfunction results.

Persistent ill effects may result in chronic aches or injury from using weak muscles.

If you recognise that something in your life, be it your job or a hobby might cause you problems, then an osteopathic evaluation and treatment will help/ Tightening muscles can be loosened, sticky joints can be made to function, you’ll feel better and be in a better position to avoid injury.
