Prospective patients often ask what are the benefits of an osteopathic consultation when they visit my clinic in BS6 Bristol.

There are several reasons why I recommend getting a regular osteopathic consultation and treatment in Bristol and it can save a lot of time, pain and expense in the long run.

Here are some of the reasons:

Prevention is better than cure

As one of my core mantras, any good osteopath in Bristol will advise this to patients.

Keeping an eye on your health can help to highlight issues before cause pain, need ongoing treatment, or become disabling. Living a pain-free life makes such a difference.

Check-up before the holidays

Booking an osteopathic consultation in Bristol before going away on the annual Summer holiday is also a good idea.

Many people get injured or suffer pain when they take a break, usually as they are tired and susceptible to injury.

Often, patients come to me after a break in the sun having either completely stopped (and then sustained an injury) or having sustained an injury whilst undertaking a new activity or sport while on holiday.

Pay attention to your body

It is vital to pay attention to any warning signs the body gives you.

This could be a niggling pre-existing issue or injury, which may get worse on holiday. We take on different routines and movement patterns when on a break, so it is critical to ensure that our bodies are ready for this.

One way to reduce these risks is to book in with me for an MOT (maintenance osteopathic treatment) - visit here to find out more.

Many patients engage in more swimming-based activities when they go on holiday. Swimming is generally a good thing but things can still go wrong.
