Sports Injuries

As well as looking at the specific injury, or point of pain, I also look at, and spend time discussing previous sports injuries, this helps design treatment plans and future prevention. A variety of strengthening methods and sport specific exercises are normally included in your rehabilitation, which will assist in speedy recovery.

Work Strain Issues

Repetitive strain injury, (RSI) or Occupational overuse syndrome (OOS) is caused by long term constant, muscle tension restricting the flow of blood through muscle, which causes the muscle to quickly run out of stored energy. To aid circulation, relaxation and help ease discomfort, you can incorporate ergonomic changes, aerobic type exercises, relaxation techniques, hydrotherapy and job variety.

Arthritis

Arthritis is inflammation of the joint. To treat any issues, your joints need mobility. These are many things you can do, such as using heat (hot baths, wheat bags etc.), moderate exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, visiting the Mount Hot Pools, Tai Chi and yoga. For further information and home visits you can call the Arthritis Foundation on 0800 663 463.
