Osteopathy, that’s for bones and back?’. Yes and SO much more. Supporting people to feel comfortable and regulated in their bodies. Supporting their bodies to recover from injuries. From stressors. From strains. To help you find ease and comfort in your body.

Did you know it's national Bone and Joint Week?

It’s an ideal time to learn how to keep your bones and joints healthy while taking steps to keep them in the best possible condition.

Of course, you should always consult with your osteopath if you want to thoroughly understand the functions of joints and the best joint strengthening exercises. In the meantime, however, the following essential joint care tips will help you maintain your bone and joint health on your own…

CHECK YOUR POSTURE
If you’re sitting at your PC or laptop right now, are you sitting straight, or are you hunched over? Many of us are guilty of sitting incorrectly when using a computer, and if you’re an office worker who spends many hours per day staring at the screen, chances are you feel tension in your neck and shoulders, and even your lower back. Try to get up and walk around every 20 minutes or so, stretch whenever you can and try to avoid sitting for long periods of time to prevent a whole host of posture-related aches and pains.

EXERCISE SMARTLY
Building muscle and getting regular exercise can protect your joints from damage. That said, you shouldn’t push yourself harder than necessary. If your joints continue to hurt for days after working out, you may need to give them some rest before jumping back into your fitness routine. You should also consult with an osteopath about joint strengthening exercises you can do in addition to your regular workout so as to reduce the risk of injury or strain.

WATCH YOUR DIET
Calcium protects and strengthens your bones. That’s why you need to make sure you’re getting enough of this joint health vitamin from your diet. Although milk, cheese, and yoghurt are great sources of calcium, foods like seeds, canned salmon, and almonds are equally good choices (especially if you’re lactose intolerant). There are also joint health vitamins that can act as supplements to your diet.

Osteopaths are not unused to treating pregnant patients with back pain and sciatica symptoms, however pregnancy adds other dimensions that need to be considered.

What is Pelvic Gurdle Pain?
People with SPD (Symphysis P***s Dysfunction) or PGP (Pelvic Girdle Pain) may experience pain in the sacroiliac joint(s) or low back, the front of the pelvis, the groin or down the inside of the legs. Most often these conditions occur due to postural changes combined with an increase of the presence of the hormone relaxin which causes all the joints in the body to relax in preparation for the birth of the baby, however sometimes they are caused by old injuries and imbalances in the pelvic area.

How can an Osteopath help?
Treatment usually involves realigning the pelvis, rebalancing the ligaments of the three key joints of the pelvis (the two sacroiliac joints and the symphysis p***s) and addressing any muscle or joint issues that may have arisen in the spine. This, together with advice on exercises and management of the condition, are usually sufficient to ease the discomfort and restore the patient to full functionality with little pain.

Please call or email should you have any questions or concerns regarding your health during your pregnancy and together we can work out how we can help.
