Weekly Health Bulletin 23/03/09

Hi everyone,

This weeks health bulletin focuses on those niggling aches and pains on your body, be it a shoulder, a knee, neck or back problem.
Since the start of the new year we have been receiving more and more questions in relation to personal aches, pains and minor injuries various people have.
Unfortunately none of the gym staff are qualified Physiotherapists, so answering questions in relation to minor injuries, aches and pains can be somewhat difficult, particularly when the person themselves can offer very little information in relation to their problem.

What is very concerning is those with injuries usually want to begin some sort of exercise program without causing further stress on these injuries. My advice to those who have any injuries, aches or pains, is to visit a physiotherapist to assess what sort of injury or problem you might have before even thinking about exercising.
Ignoring this advice could result in making the injury or problem a lot worse, or cause other injuries to develop.

One might require a rehabilitation program prior to starting a regular exercise program.
So on this note I have provided a link below to The Leinster Clinic, The clinic has been redeveloped to include a wide range of clinical disciplines now operating as a modern multidisciplinary Health Centre.

So if you have any injury, aches or pains and are unsure what it is or how to make it better, please seek professional help before dismissing it as something that will gradually sort itself out over time.

Take care of yourselves,

The Gym team. http://www.leinsterclinic.ie/
