Philosophy of the Clinic
When you injure your back, neck or any joint in your body, it is usually for one of two reasons:
- Because you have overloaded the area by lifting an object that is too much for your body and it cannot cope. You usually feel immediate pain as tissues are overcome and they ‘give way’ as they are torn or badly strained or sprained.
- You do something or lots of things incorrectly day after day, often without being aware that you are aggravating your muscles or joints. You create an imbalance in your body which gradually leads to overloading these tissues then suddenly – something hurts – out of the blue and you have no idea what to do about it..
In our Clinics we take the time to discuss your problem in depth, so that you can understand what you have done and how you may have done it. This understanding often means that you only require short term treatment in order to achieve long term results because:
- We help you to recognise the cause of your problem.
- We give you simple ways of developing strength and balance in your muscles appropriate to your day to day activities and your lifestyle.
- We use evidence based treatment to ensure the most appropriate care of your condition
Knowledge is power and when you understood your problem, together we will discuss how many treatments you are likely to need and then devise a long term plan based on what you want to achieve. Then YOU will have control over your problem in a way you did not have before and will be less likely to get the pain again. |
