Soooooooo true!!
This is what we spend our lives telling our patients (and anyone who will listen 😂😂😂😂)

Unfortunately one of the first things that you will encounter as part of the orthopaedics framework is a corticosteroid injection. This acts as a plaster, and will temporarily reduce pain and inflammation in some people (not all unfortunately). This can work for people who are having osteopathic treatment, and can be used alongside Osteopathy if needed, because then at least the cause will be addressed.

BUT (BIG BUT COMING......).....
If you do not address the cause, then you can actually create further problems :
1. You disguise your body's own ability to recognise threat and compromise. PAIN is there for a reason, and is giving you knowledge of what you can and can't do, to avoid further damage.

2. These injections have actually been found to cause degradation of cartilage so can cause degeneration and further injury.

3. You haven't got rid of the cause. So if there are a number of mechanical reasons which have caused inflammation and damage, then unless you fix these first, the original pain will come back. Like a scab, you continue to overload the area is like you continue picking the scab, it never heals. BUT give it the space it needs to heal, address the mechanisms that caused it in the first place, then it fixes, and it is fixed LONG TERM!!!!!

So, as we always try to do, we get to the crux of the issue by addressing and rehabbing the cause, then the injury can heal, and actually has a chance to heal, instead of COVERING UP THE ISSUE!!!!

Give it a go. #osteopathyworks

Our fab new pilates teacher here at Herts Osteopathy, Joanna Michaelides, is running pilates workshops over the summer covering different aspects of pilates and body areas to teach in a fun and challenging way. These are sold out within a week of opening the bookings 💜💜
Joanna is fab, lots of positive feedback already 😊😊

Repost from Joanna :
Loved teaching the first summer workshop @hertsosteopathy 💜 Hoping everyone felt “lengthened and strengthened” afterwards.

Joanna has a couple of spaces left for her classes in September running through to Christmas on Fridays at 9.30am or at midday.
Just a few spaces left for each.

9.30am Ladies Pilates all levels

12pm Beginners Pilates.
This class is a fantastic opportunity to join a small focused class for all those new to pilates (or not done it for a while....), all ages, men, women, retired, teenagers, mums.... Come and join Joanna to learn how pilates can work for you, build up your flexibility, strength, mobility and all in a small class environment. Great for those who have had back pain and want to use pilates for long term prevention and pain relief 🙌🏻🙌🏻
