Bad posture can irritate the body tissues as they adapt to the unnatural position that they have been forced to adopt. Adopting prolonged postures can mean the joints, ligaments, muscles and spinal discs become irritated and sensitised, leading to pain and discomfort.
Osteopaths will massage, stretch and mobilise the tissues and joints – restoring blood flow to them and enabling them to return to optimum health, and function.
Osteopaths will also advise on exercises to help decrease stiffness, increase mobility and reduce pain.
