Weight and Back Care Management

Many people with painful long term joint or back conditions can become less active. This pain sends them on a downward spiral. Reduced activity leads to weight gain, which leads to further joint pain and then restriction of movement.

As part of my osteopathic service, I can help you overcome these problems by increasing your activity in a managed way as well as monitoring your weight for no extra charge.

If you would like help with reducing your weight, we can discuss what you eat on a daily basis and the time you eat it during a typical day. I will ask you to record it in a FOOD DIARY. This gives us a starting point to discuss what changes may need to be made in your daily eating pattern when we compare it to NATIONAL DIETARY GUIDELINES.

We will look at your diet to make sure you are getting the best vitamins and minerals necessary for optimum bone and joint health.

Bringing your weight down will reduce stress on your joints and lead to less pain.

We can monitor your progress using a BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSER , which calculates your:

• Bone and Muscle Mass
• Basal Metabolic Rate
• % Body Fat

One way to help you become more active and improve your posture and walking gait is through NORDIC WALKING TECHNIQUE

If you would like to discuss any of these issues with me, please CONTACT ME or call me on 01625 533813 / 07547 631679
