It’s that time of year again! With the long summer holidays drawing to a close and seasons beginning to turn, it’s time to settle back into your self-care routine. If you’re a parent, perhaps your kids are back to school and you are reclaiming some ‘me time’. September can feel a sad time, saying goodbye to holiday season, but it can also be an opportunity to prepare for the colder months ahead. If travelling over the summer, or keeping up with the kids has left you feeling aches and pains, have you thought about popping in to see one of our osteopaths for a body MOT? They can offer an accurate diagnosis of any pain you’re struggling with, and a treatment plan that will have you sailing through autumn pain-free.
Holiday aches and pains
Everyone loves a holiday! But if driving long distances, or flying overseas has taken its toll on your back, you may have more than souvenirs to remember the holiday with! Our osteopaths can set things right as quickly as possible, identifying the cause of the problem and treating it.
Camping can also play havoc with your joints. Constantly getting up and down from the floor can result in back and hip pain. Don’t worry! Our osteopaths are used to assessing aches and pains to discover the origin of the pain and devise a treatment plan.
Finally, has your back ‘’gone’ while lifting and carrying heavy bags on holiday? Do you remember feeling a twinge when bending down to pick up luggage, and now your lower back feels sore and tender? That’s a story our osteopaths are very used to hearing! They are skilled at helping you recover from a pulled muscle or torn tendon.
Keeping up with the kids
Are you feeling the strain of keeping up with your children or grandchildren over the holidays? They can certainly keep us busy. If they’re toddlers, the likelihood is that you have been carrying them more often over the holidays. Perhaps you’ve been spending hours on the floor playing LEGO or board games with them?
IF you’re not used to bending, stretching and carrying in this way, you may end the holidays feeling tired and achy in new ways! Come and see one of our osteopaths for a treatment to help you recover your energy and mobility!
Does damp weather make you ache?
Finally, a word about autumn! With the onset of cooler, damper weather maybe your joints are feeling sore and achy. If you suffer from arthritis, you’ll know your symptoms might worsen as autumn arrives. Don’t struggle alone – let one of our osteopaths work with you to create a tailored exercise plan ahead of the arrival of cooler, damper weather. That way you’ll be well prepared for autumn and winter!
