Osteopathy is a holistic system of healthcare aimed at restoring joint function through soft tissue (massage), articulatory and manipulative techniques.
When used in conjunction with exercises it can provide immediate and long-lasting relief.Patients seek out osteopaths to enable them to get to the root of the cause as opposed to masking the pain with painkiller and anti-inflammatory medication.
If one of the predisposing factors involves sitting at a desk all day, we can make suggestions to adapt the workspace to suit the patient in order to minimise the impact on the patient’s body. Poorly angled computer screens, keyboards placed too far away and chairs set at the wrong height can all negatively impact a patient’s joints.
The human spine is a support column for the whole body, if the muscles keeping the spine upright are weakened through lack of use (such as prolonged sitting at a desk) the spine will change shape. The shape will depend on the individual and their position but anyone with poor posture will inevitably experience aches and stiffness and then some.
The spine also protects the spinal cord, whose nerves exit between each of the vertebral joints. If the vertebral joints become compressed, the nerves will be impinged and a variety of symptoms can occur either in the spine or along that nerve root, such as pain, weakness, numbness or pins-and-needles.
By using osteopathic techniques, we enable the spine to move as it should. In combination with ergonomic assessments we are able to keep your staff happy and pain-free while working. As a knock-on effect, looking after your staff has shown to keep morale higher and increase productivity.
We use osteopathic treatment in combination with chair massage and DSE assessments in order to keep your staff in the best shape possible.
