Treating Back Pain in Seniors (with osteopath Chris Reeves)

As we get older, the body loses elasticity, increasing the chance of injuring the soft tissues and bony structures. The body also loses some of its ability to recover from injuries or strains. Osteopaths can offer treatment and advice to help harness your body's natural healing systems. This can improve mobility, circulation and balance, reduce joint stiffness and help you lead a more fulfilling life. Osteopathy's gentle techniques aim to maintain your health, increase mobility, improve balance, prevent further joint wear and tear, and help keep you active and independent.
