POSTURAL DYSFUNCTION

Postural pain, aches and other dysfunction can be dramatically helped by a program of treatment and self-exercise. There are various approaches to 're-posturing', ranging from the taught exercises of the Alexander technique, to the structural integration approach developed by Ida P Rolfe. Osteopathy is also very effective. Treatment is applied to the whole body, and often not to the areas where the patient feels the problem is!

Osteopathy can help change a dysfunctional posture into one that liberates the natural energy and vitality of your body. It is a two way process, involving a course of treatment (often up to ten treatments) and - for about two months - a daily program of postural and movement exercises. This approach is such 'common sense' for the body, that in those people who are in reasonable health, good results are virtually certain to follow.

Don't let your posture worsen over the decades - you will only be storing up problems for your sixties, seventies and eighties that are largely preventable!
