Routine Check-Up
We like to call them "check-up" appointments but they are commonly referred to as "maintenance or wellness" and the aim is to identify areas of stress and tensions before they become problematic.
A little like changing the filters and oil in your car before the engine starts coughing up!
We've all heard stories of people who bent down to pick up a pen and their back just "went" causing them weeks of agony. This is often the result of small injuries and structural imbalances that accumulate over the years and one day the body reaches its maximal capacity to compensate and becomes painful.
Just like a dental cavity doesn't happen overnight (but may become painful overnight), back pain is often a long process.
Osteopathy can help identify those region under strain before they become a problem and this is why many patient chose to have regular maintenance treatment.
Most people go to the dentist and optician for preventive "check up" and we believe that your body deserves the same care - after all, you only get one!
"Regular" can be every 6 weeks for some or every 6-12 months for others, largely depending on your age, condition, general health and occupation.
So next time you book your car in for an MOT or a Service, or ring up your dentist to book a preventive check-up, why not call your osteopath at the same time?
