Unlocking Comfort, Promoting Independence: Osteopathy for seniors
Seniors need additional ongoing care since, in addition to any adult-specific illnesses, they also have age-related problems like osteoporosis or sarcopenia (muscle loss), etc. The osteopaths at Prime Health Hub have experience treating old patients and working in aged care institutions. They are better equipped to comprehend and handle the senior’s needs. All the osteopathic doctors at Prime Health Hub have postgraduate degrees and are a special interest in craniosacral and biodynamic osteopathic techniques. In contrast to massage, articulation, or fast motions like HVLA in situations involving musculoskeletal issues, we use gentle treatment and balancing approaches when necessary in acute conditions.
Sadly, we all develop some wrinkles and grey hair over the years. Our muscles, bones, joints, and supporting tissues all change as we age, which is natural. It is not a given that growing older will cause pain or stiffness to worsen. However, if this becomes an issue, many patients discover that osteopathic treatments and guidance can help with any GP care and medication that may have been prescribed.
Here are some general tips to follow as you age:
How can your osteopathic practitioner help?
Aches and pains are not something you have to put up with because you are getting older. In fact, a lot of people discover that talking to us about staying active, avoiding issues like falls, and managing illnesses like osteoarthritis, rheumatic pain, and osteoporosis is helpful. The type of osteopathic care you receive will depend on your age, degree of fitness, and diagnosis because it focuses on your unique patient needs. We employ a wide variety of gentle hands-on techniques, emphasising relaxing muscles, stretching joints, and releasing tension.
When your symptoms improve, you can be given maintenance treatment to take care of particular areas of your spine and body that will change over the next few months. Osteopathy can reduce tension and discomfort, making pregnancy easier and more natural.
