Osteopathy for Stress management and Stress relief

Sometimes it is an upset stomach, other times it can be headaches, back pain, muscle stiffness, nervous twitches, allergic reactions or sensitivities. Just as a chain breaks at its weakest link, we seem to show stress and strain in the weakest regions of our body.

Regardless of which response you have, the function of the nervous system is involved. All the functions of your body are controlled by your nervous system and without a healthy nervous system your body will cease to function well and illness may result.

Your family osteopath is often able to restore joint function and therefore the function of your nervous system, which has a profound effect on your response to stress. Your osteopath is qualified to diagnose, treat and assist in the prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, which enables your body to work at a more optimal level.

Emotional stress can increase muscular tension, especially at the base of the neck, head and jaw, irritating nerves and upsetting blood flow to the brain, causing headaches and a general feeling of being out of sorts.

After your osteopath has carefully diagnosed your condition, treatment can proceed and this together with recommendations for your future care has proven to help our patients in many many cases.
