Frozen Shoulder Syndrome is an extremely painful condition. It can often start with a niggling ache followed by extreme pain. Over time the shoulder becomes severely restricted making normal everyday activities very difficult, if not impossible. It can cause problems sleeping and is particularly painful when lying on the impacted side. Osteopathic treatment can be very successful in easing the symptoms of frozen shoulder and can assist with a faster return to mobility and activity.

"It's just one of those things when you've had a baby."
This is what many of my female patients have been told when they experience painful and distressing symptoms in pregnancy or after childbirth. Awareness and knowledge are vitally important when it comes to women's health and I want to highlight that this International Women's Day. Many pregnancy and post-natal conditions can be helped, even years after childbirth, but it can sometimes be hard to know where to go to access treatment. I've treated many female patients who have experienced urinary incontinence, pelvic floor problems, back pain, sacro-iliac joint pain, symphysis p***s dysfunction, and prolapse issues.

Patient testimonial - fibromyalgia.
I've been treating Susan for her fibromyalgia for a couple of years. Treatment has helped her to manage her pain, alleviate physical symptoms and continue to work part time. Fibromyalgia patients often struggle to have their symptoms recognised, which can have a major impact mentally and emotionally.

What osteopathy is and what I do. Over the last few weeks I've shared information on the wide range of conditions that osteopathy can help. Today I want to tell you a bit about myself and what I do as an osteopath. Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on, non-invasive method of diagnosing, treating and preventing health problems. Osteopathy is based on the principle that the body has the inherent ability to heal itself. The body is designed and can cope and adapt well to the strain of daily living. However, once the strain becomes too much the body will start to go out of balance. This imbalance will often manifest as pain or other forms of dysfunction. Osteopathic treatment strives to bring balance back to the body. Once this balance is restored the body can start to heal itself. With 14 years experience, I treat adults, children and babies using a combination of structural, visceral and cranial osteopathic techniques. I also use the NAT (Niel Asher technique) approach to frozen shoulder. I don't look at an issue in isolation, rather I base my treatment on the consideration and understanding of the mental, emotional and physical stresses that modern living places on us.

Like with most long-term conditions, people who have fibromyalgia will experience good days and bad days. I treat a number of people who have fibromyalgia and here are some of my top tips to help manage it:

1. Focus on getting good quality and restful sleep. Fibromyalgia causes pain all over the body and this can impact sleep, which leads to increased fatigue and worsening pain. Last week I shared my top tips for a good night's sleep.
2. Exercise but pace yourself. Staying active is important and has multiple health benefits, including increased energy. Pace yourself, even on good days when energy levels are high, so that you have some reserves if the following day is harder.
3. Identify triggers that aggravate your condition, such as changes to diet, schedule, temperature and sleep conditions. Being aware of triggers can help you to plan ahead and manage or remove things that cause you stress.
4. Eat healthily. Fibromyalgia symptoms may be exacerbated by processed foods, sugar, certain carbohydrates and alcohol. Keep a food diary to see if certain foods impact you. Eating healthily can help to increase energy levels and reduce inflammation.

I've treated a number of people who have fibromyalgia, which is a long-term condition that causes pain all over body. It's often described as, "Everything hurts", and can also cause fatigue, muscle stiffness, difficulty sleeping and issues with mental processes. The exact cause is unknown and there's no cure, but treatment can help with the symptoms, including osteopathy. Osteopathic treatment can help to reduce pain and helps to address mechanical dysfunction that impedes normal motion. Studies have shown that osteopathic manipulative treatment in conjunction with medication relieves pain associated with fibromyalgia syndrome: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/12090649/

If you think you might have fibromyalgia speak to your doctor or osteopath.

Small lifestyle changes can make a big difference to sleep quality. In this world of smartphones and devices, it's important to have some screen-free time. It'll help your posture and your sleep, too! Here are my top tips for getting a better night's sleep:

1. Limit screens before bed. Blue light impacts melatonin production, which we need for sleep.
2. Curb your caffeine intake. No caffeine after 2pm is a good cut-off time, but everyone is different. Some people can tolerate only one cup of coffee a day.
3. Keep your bedroom for sleep. Try to avoid working on a laptop, or doing paperwork in the bedroom. This will help to build a positive sleep association.
4. Regular exercise but not near bedtime. I'm a big advocate of regular, gentle exercise. Everyone's ability and fitness levels are different but it has so many benefits, with sleep being one. Avoid exercising before bed, as it'll make you more alert.
5. Try not to fret about falling asleep. Worrying and overthinking has the opposite effect. Focus on feeling calm and comfortable.
6. Avoid heavy meals or spicy food late at night. These can cause digestive discomfort which prevents sleep.
7. Keep your bedroom cool. About 17°C is a beneficial temperature. Opening a window at night may help.

If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep then osteopathy may have the solution for you. Osteopathic treatment can help a number of issues that affect the quality of your sleep, such as stress/tension, an overactive mind, digestive issues, arthritis, injuries, jet lag, pregnancy-related aches and pains, and postural problems. Treatment can also help with sleep cycles and the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.
