45 Plus
“We help people aged 45 plus improve their health, stay as active as possible, increase their mobility, and reduce their musculoskeletal pain, without relying on painkillers.”
If you’re over 45, it’s likely that you’ve thought about the importance of staying strong, healthy and mobile. You might have also thought about how important it is to not rely on painkillers, or how you’d like to be living a more active life with your family. If this sounds like you, it’s probably a good idea to check in with the team at Focus Osteopathy.
Are you experiencing any of the following?
- Tension-induced migraines?
- Lower back pain?
- Pain and swelling in your hands and feet?
- Pains and spasms that keep you awake?
- Back pain after shopping, or picking up your grand-kids?
- A general feeling of slowing down?
The great news is that osteopathy is considered to be an effective treatment for musculoskeletal conditions for people over 45.
Has This Type Of Thing Of Happened To You?
Why else does back pain last longer than it should do? Well, it’s easy to get confused because you’ve been told different things, by different people. There’s lots of people out there who are happy to dispense advice – but not all of it is credible.
Maybe you think your back pain was caused by doing something – like lifting or sleeping awkwardly – but really it was caused by years and years of poor posture that caused the muscles in your lower back to become weak and the lifting of the awkward sleeping position was just the EFFECT of that.
If you don’t know what you’re doing – back pain can be very confusing and because of this, many people just end up accepting it as ‘part of life’ – as if it’s normal, and ‘just the way it is’.
