Hello!
In this newsletter I have written about the benefits of regular treatments and how amazingly your spine affects your whole health.
We are having more and more clients come in for regular maintenance and prevention treatments. Just like you go to the gym on a regular basis to stay fit and strong and have to eat well to stay healthy it’s also a great idea to have regular treatments to keep your physical body flexible and pain free.
But there’s more… It’s not just the physical that benefits. A massage obviously has mental and emotional benefits as it is relaxes and releases feel-good chemicals.
Osteopathy treatment works on the spine and the spine supplies all our internal organs with their nerve innervation. This treatment on the spine will have subtle influences on internal organs and other muscles, like those in the arms and legs and even blood vessels.
An osteopathic foundation is “Structure Governs Function”, this means that the physical structure of our spine and body helps our overall function. For example, slouching over your desk at work or home compresses all the digestive organs so this potentially can alter your digestive processes.
Have a look at this illustration of how the spine supplies all the internal organs.
We are physical and emotional and spiritual beings but so much of our wellbeing revolves around how we physically feel. Particularly detrimental is if we have aches and pains or stiffness which restricts what we are able to do and impacts how we feel emotionally. The pain can make us grumpy or not being able to easily do daily activities or play sport makes us down and miserable too.
Many of our regularly clients are self employed or cannot take days off work with pain or injuries. It’s very common for us to hear self-employed patients say that the cost of treatment on a regular basis is far cheaper than when they get injured and have to take many days off work with acute pain. There is nothing worse than being told by your health professional that you have to stop playing sport or stop an activity you love to speed your recovery from acute pain.
The answer is to look after yourself so you don’t have acute pain at all and can continue to work or play sport.
Our Wellness Club is designed to help you regularly look after yourself to KEEP you healthy and pain free. At the moment it consists of physical treatments, either massage or osteopathy but we have nutritional help coming soon. Much of this will be free to members as part of the Wellness Club.
