June is scoliosis awareness month. This condition affects the curvature of the spine. It can effect people of any age, but most often start in children aged 10-15. The earlier the condition is detected, the more can be done. Therefore screening is an important aspect in the fight against scoliosis and its complications, like back pain or nerve compression, as well heart and lung problems in severe cases.

Road to recovery after Covid 19

Physiotherapy rehabilitation can help you along the road of recovery. Many people experience fatigue, breathlessness and muscle weakness long after a Covid 19 infection. Rehabilitation and breathing exercises can help restore diaphragm function and lung capacity, helping you to breathe easier and return to activities of daily living :)

Deep breathing exercises can also lessen feelings of anxiety and stress.

Please give me a call if you want further information.

Day 4 of National Back Week!
Today I would like to make you aware of scoliosis. It is also a condition that I have.

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine and can lead to back pain. Scoliosis appear in different forms of severity and have different causes. Some causes are very heavy school bags, muscle imbalances and leg length discrepancy. Physiotherapy and correct exercises can help relief pain from scoliosis and prevent an increase in scoliosis 😊 It is especially important to diagnose and treat scoliosis in children.
