Back pain is very common, with reports suggesting as many as eight out of ten people will suffer with it at some point in our lives. Back pain can be caused by poor posture e.g. from sitting badly at a computer, lifting or moving our bodies in a repeatedly poor position or by an accident. Stress, depression, being overweight and sedentary lifestyle can all be contributory factors. Back problems often come with stiffness, tenderness and mild to severe pain. It is the most common condition that we see and osteopathic techniques are very effective in reducing pain, increasing mobility and getting you back on your feet quickly.
