Carers provide invaluable help and assistance to their children, friends, relatives, and partners, but what happens when their work leads to back pain, compromising their ability to care?
Back pain is endemic among carers: a 2011 survey found that 70% of carers experienced back and shoulder pain. This issue seriously affects the quality of life of those who should be most valued in our society, as well as impacting on their caregiving work, which saves the NHS and local authorities very significant sums of money.*
Becoming aware of how changes to posture can help to relieve back pain, and how Osteopathy can help to deal with sore muscles and stiff joints, you will then be able to help yourself get back to full strength and continue your essential work for others.
Absolute Health is committed to helping anyone suffering with back pain caused by muscle and joint problems and is offering a special rate for Osteopathy treatments between 7th to 11th October 2013. As a new patient, mention BackCare Awareness Week to receive 50% off the cost of your initial consultation and treatment cost (normally £63). Also, if you can refer any friends or relatives to us, we will also offer you a £10 gift voucher as a 'thank you'. We rely on word of mouth referrals so if you have had a good experience please tell others.
To make an appointment or request any information about how Osteopathy can help you, please call Richard or Sophie on 0116 282 7766.
