The world we live in is changing to become more and more sedentary every year. Our working lives have changed drastically over the past 40 years becoming desk based and we are becoming less and less active with the introduction of the internet, gaming and television. Unfortunately this begins to place unwanted duress on our bodies. Most commonly our backs and necks are affected. Our muscles lengthen one way and shorten another causing an imbalance to occur. This results in joint stiffness, pain, altered muscle contraction and altered recruitment patterns to name a few. The impact of this is that our day to day activities - including work, hobbies, getting dressed, driving and cooking - become harder and harder to complete. For more information on just how much of an impact sitting too much has on our bodies have a watch at the video below. The good news is that physiotherapy can help reduce these problems. By incorporating deep tissue massage, joint mobilisations, core strengthening, passive stretching, tape, acupuncture, Pilates and many more into a treatment programme alongside a home exercise programme the pain and discomfort that you feel will be reduced and you will be fighting fit once again. If this sounds like you or someone you know and you feel like you could benefit from everything that is outlined why not give 01560 483 200 a call and book an appointment with one of our Chartered Physiotherapists today.
