The SIJ or to give it its full name the sacroiliac joint can be a right pain in the back!

It is probably the most common acute cause of back pain that I see and treat in the clinic. Often brought on by something fairly small and innocuous like picking up a shopping bag or just turning to reach for something!

When they give you pain, boy do they give you pain!! Sharp stabbing pain in the base of you spine, usually to one side that hurts with pretty much any movement. Usually you wont get pain all the way down your leg but some people will get pain down the back or the side of the leg down to about the knee. Pain can also sometimes be felt into the groin, more so in men.

Thankfully these kind of issues usually respond pretty well and fairly quickly to treatment. Normally 2-3 treatments will do the job but I have occasional had people hobble in and walk back out again almost pain free from just one treatment !!

Thats right, despite what you may have seen on those Youtube videos Osteopathy is not all about the cracks!!

I mean it can be and there is nothing wrong with that, but I have plenty more tools in my treatment toolbox than just clicking and cracking, some of which have a far deeper and more long lasting effect than a quick joint click.

So if you are in need of treatment but don't fancy being cracked you don't need to worry as we absolutely don't have to do that to you!

Osteopaths are regarded as primary practitioners able to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions without the need for you to be seen by a GP first.

The only exception is if you have private healthcare and wish to claim the cost of your osteopathy treatment then you insurance provider may wish you to see or speak to a GP first

I often get asked for advice on the best sort of desk set up or office chair.
In reality no one posture is any better than another, unless you working slumped on you bed student style !!

What is the killer is the amount of time spent in any one position or place so my number one piece of advice is this .....

Set a timer for every 30-45 mins and each time it goes off, stand up , stretch maybe even walk around the room a few times before then sitting back down and carrying on with what you were doing.

Thats right, you can stay as dressed or as undressed as you are comfortable with - no compulsory down to your underwear in this clinic!!

If your still feeling the cold even with you clothes on then I have plenty of blankets and even a heated couch to help keep you warm and comfortable during treatment

To coin a phrase loved by a colleague I trained with - "motion is lotion"

Rarely is a gentle walk or stretching session a bad idea when you back is abit achey

Recently I had somebody ask me if they should tell their osteopath exactly what they were doing when they injured themselves - in this case the activity in question was Skydiving !! 🤨

I think the person in question was concerned that they would just be told not to sky dive again, something they clearly love doing! My response was of course you should tell us, my role is not to judge what you do, my role is to help you keep doing what you love and besides it makes for a more interesting conversation starter rather than the usual I just woke up with it 🤣

I'm afraid after a couple of recent incidents I have now changed the clinic cancelation policy and now reserve the right to charge 50% of you appointment fee in the event of a late cancellation - less than 24hrs notice.
