Muscles contract, fasciae tighten, and as a result pain begins. This is one of the main causes of neck and low back pain in summer.
These problems can be prevented with an osteopathic examination — not with forceful intervention, but with simple touch.
1How does the change of seasons affect the body?
Neck, low back, knee and muscle pain and joint stiffness can present differently in different seasons. Osteopathy helps the body adapt to these changes: it improves joint mobility, reduces muscle and tissue tension, and balances the nervous system and circulation.
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
