Musculoskeletal Health Clinic
Have you ever wondered why you keep on experiencing bodily aches and pains or small injuries despite all your efforts to keep physically active? Every time we feel a physical pain we automatically associate it with a musculoskeletal problem: muscle, bone, cartilage, tendon, etc. The idea that tissue damage causes symptoms is widely spread and for good reason; if we damage a knee ligament we experience a lot of pain around the knee or if we damage an intervertebral disc we experience pain in our back. However, sometimes pain perception is not always directly correlated to tissue damage. Did you know that chronic low grade systemic inflammation (eg, obesity or environmental toxins), cardiometabolic issues (eg, insulin, blood glucose), oestrogen disruption (eg, menopause) or functional gut issues (eg dysbiosis, ‘leaky gut’) could be behind your musculoskeletal condition?
Your Musculoskeletal health journey
Our musculoskeletal system is an essential component of health. It’s a complex structure comprising of muscles, bones and connective tissues. Together, they work to provide a framework and structure that confer functionality for stability and movement. In addition to this, the musculoskeletal system also acts as an endocrine system when it is stimulated by exercise and interacts with other bodily organs. Because of these connections, musculoskeletal issues can be overcome by identifying and addressing the root cause of your symptoms which may lay somewhere else in your body.

Our Musculosketal Health Practitioner
Many years ago, as a physiotherapist, I questioned why people with apparently the same low back pain would recover in completely different ways. The answer wasn’t straight forward and lead me to expand my views and seek solutions elsewhere. I discovered that nutrition plays a big role when it comes to reducing pain. In fact, uncovering the underlying triggers and imbalances in the body is key to lower inflammation and address any factors maintaining the illness state. Also, combining Osteopathy with nutrition has proven to me to be very beneficial for any structural issue affecting mechanically the musculoskeletal health and speed up the recovery process.
