Osteopathy and Posture
Let's be real. Nobody naturally thinks about their posture. Why would you unless you have pain. You also wouldnt be reading this page if you didnt have something that hurt. So, let's work on the premise that you have some pain, you think something about your work is causing it and you'd like to know what you can do (probably without spending much if any money - like us all) to stop it hurting. If you are like most people, you have probably been popping panadol or nurofen for a little while and are getting a little concerned when you need to buy yet another packet. Like a lot of things, you have the option of looking online, getting some stretches from a website and trying them out. Many of them will work quite well, but, of course you're not really sure whether they are doing you damage and it only makes the pain go away for a little while.... sort of like the pain killers. Next option, ask some friends. After trying all their suggestions, you went in search of professional help and here you are. You want to know what we do, how we are different to other professions and why you would see us. Osteopaths are different to other hands on practitioners because we look for the cause of the problem through testing the movement patterns of your joints and muscles. When you have pain from a muscle or joint, it usually means you dont have normal movement in that area or a surrounding area. We go in search of where that abnormal movement started. This means you get a diagnosis of where it all began, not just the muscle that is currently giving you pain. It also means you need less treatment because we get to the root of the problem. Once the cause is identified, we then work out how to prevent it recurring. This might mean an Osteopath at Brisbane Osteopathy could show you different ways to sit at your desk to minimise the strain in the identified problem area, give advice on ergonomic aids, design a specific stretching program or a rehabilitation exercise in order to strengthen a damaged muscle. All this is part of a standard consultation when you see an Osteopath at Brisbane Osteopathy. Why not find out today how an Osteopath can improve your life, movement and posture?
