Do you experience pain in your muscles or joints in daily life? Have you had to stop carrying out a favourite pastime due to muscle or joint pain? Do you think you have to live with that achy back or sore knee for the rest of your life? Do you take pain medication every day for muscle or joint pain after playing your favourite sport? Do you blame your joint or muscle pain on your age, job or life? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, The Body Mechanic can help. The Body Mechanic is a private soft tissue occupational therapy practice. The treating therapist is Juliet Wambui. WHAT IS SOFT TISSUE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY? Soft tissue is a collective term for muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. Soft tissue dysfunction may be a result of major incidents such as sports injuries or car accidents, or they may be cumulative, the result of more subtle influences occurring over a long period of time, such as emotional stress, or poor posture. We aim to get you out of pain, moving better and feeling better so you can lead a great quality of life. Returning to and maintaining your regular participation in activities of daily living is an essential part of our approach. Put more simply, we help you regain and retain the ability to sit, stand, and move correctly and optimally in your daily life, sports and recreational activities.
