I come across many clients who feel anxious about starting treatment or starting an exercise program. Reasons being, “would my pain get worse?, it might make things worse? Better leave it alone and not ask for trouble.” The problem will simply not go away however, and 1 month later or sometimes years later, that pain still lingers, because we haven’t addressed the root issue. Physiotherapy helps to make referral to appropriate medical avenues before starting treatment so we can get a clear picture of what we are dealing with. Manual therapy combined with exercise therapy helps to chip away the problem. And starting treatment or an exercise program does not have to be absolutely perfect when you begin. There will be roadblocks and hiccups but it’s what you do after that matters. Don’t be discouraged and keep moving in the right direction.
