During
this week, osteopaths Stephen Hudson and Lucy Osborne-Kirby would like to offer
FREE initial consultations at the Ashfield Practice (Chippenham) for carers registered with Carer Support Wiltshire who are suffering from musculoskeletal problems
(joint/muscle strains etc).
Osteopaths
can provide rapid, drug free, relief from pain caused by the types of stresses
that carers often subject themselves to when caring for others. Of the UK’s
6.5m unpaid carers more than 80% said that their physical health had been
affected by their caring responsibilities and 70% now suffer with back pain and
are at a greater risk of developing chronic pain. As holistic therapists,
osteopaths deliver a combination of manual therapy and advice for carers on how
to prevent injury through exercise, good technique and a healthy lifestyle.
Consultations
are by appointment (just call the practice) and are on a first-come-first
served basis. The initial consultation would normally cost £50; it lasts
for 1 hour and includes treatment and any appropriate advice regarding
posture/exercises/lifestyle.
Please
be aware that, should any further treatment be required/desired, normal fees
(£36 per 30 minute session) would apply.
