This week is Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK.

Emotional problems can manifest in the body, and may form part of the reason for pain and maybe even injury.

It can become a cycle of pain exacerbating the emotional problems, and the possible stress, worry and low mood around a physical problem, increasing the pain experienced.

In this way an osteopath understands the relationship between mind and body, and can support from the physical side of this dynamic.
