Pain is a Warning.

I often feel that I am here to help patients understand what their body is trying to say to them. On occasions I do suggest it's a bit like body whispering or a foreign language in need of interpretation.  Ultimately an ache or pain is the body telling you it is hurting and is saying quite definitely it needs your help. 

If the ache or pain is ignored it will often come back more frequently or urgently and this is reflected in the type of pain you get. The more painful and intense is harder to ignore. However, never does an acute pain come without prior warning, and doesn't it always strike at an incredibly inconvenient time -  the day before a holiday, your busiest time of year or classically the Friday before a Bank Holiday.

My philosophy is simple – as soon as you have pain take notice it is your body warning you that you’re hurting yourself. Seek advice and help early - either in the form of a massage or someone like myself. You’ll save yourself a lot of pain and will feel better much quicker
