Your Continued Health
After treatment, it is not advisable to partake in heavy exercise for 24 hours to give the tissues time to settle down. It must also be remembered that some conditions can be permanently helped, whilst others only partially relieved or maintained in balance. Each case will receive individual attention in an effort to get the fastest results possible with the longest lasting result.
On conclusion of the treatment and your successful return to health, you may choose to return for maintenance treatments in an attempt to prevent recurrence of pain, rather than waiting for an acute episode to occur, and undergoing intensive treatment if and when a problem returns.
If appropriate, your Osteopath may recommend a preventative treatment every two to six months depending on your original condition and lifestyle.
Throughout maintenance treatment your Osteopath will monitor changes in your overall health, adjust exercise plans (and ensure that you maintaining exercises and stretching) treat those areas that have been historically the source of your pain and associated areas.
Preventative osteopathic treatment aims to educate the patient, to ensure that they are fully aware of their physical limitations and to empower them to minimise the chances of their initial symptoms returning. Patients can withdraw from a preventative treatment program at any stage.
