I highly recommend the Skelian Clinic. The lovely Aaron has cured my lower back pain in a matter of a few weeks so that I can now resume and enjoy my walks. Everyone at the clinic is very professional, kind and friendly. Thank you.

I walked in to the Skelian clinic at my wit's end - my neck and shoulders hurt from decades of poor posture due to computer work, my left forearm was tight and painful and I had been suffering with agonizing tennis elbow in my right arm which was waking me up every night. It felt like my entire upper body had seized up. From the moment I entered the clinic I felt a good vibe - Angela, the receptionist, made me feel relaxed and welcome and was just lovely to be around, she takes a genuine interest in every client and radiates warmth - and has a lovely singing voice to boot! Victoria, who I cannot thank enough, has worked miracles. After four treatments, using a combination of dry needle therapy, targeted deep tissue massage and spinal manipulation I feel like a different person. The pain has almost completely gone and I have a workable action plan on how to look after my joints. Victoria is empathic, exceptionally knowledgeable, witty and a great listener. She explains what she is doing in straightforward language and puts you at ease immediately. I can honestly say that I am blown away by the results, it is life changing to have that debilitating pain taken away. I wish I'd gone sooner. If you are suffering with neck, back or joint problems please just book an appointment online, you owe it to yourself.

I've been coming to Dani for regular Sports Massage appointments for nearly a year now, recently transitioning on to the Hot Stones massage. As someone who likes to regularly weight train these sessions have been invaluable to my recovery and have ensured that any aches, pains and knots are kept to their absolute minimum. I've recently moved over to the Hot Stones massage and highly recommend it, it's a great mixture of traditional sports massage techniques combined with the hot stones - this will be my go to massage moving forward. Dani is extremely welcoming, friendly and a pleasure to be around - I can't rate her highly enough!

Very nice clinic and in my opinion affordable. I went there because I have office job and suffer from neck/back pain occasionally. Jamie Franchini was extra attentive, reassuring and informative all the way along my first app (since my partner mentioned that I feel a bit nervious about the procedure) and has a very friendly and welcoming personality. He explained everything and made me at ease. Created plan for my particular needs and even sent me additional info with recommended excercises to do for my issues. Had just few visits but deffinately will keep going for the maintenance and further support of overall health. Highly recommending :)

General Aches and Pains

General aches and pains are common complaints that affect people of all ages. Whether it’s a persistent backache, a nagging headache, or discomfort in the joints, these sensations can significantly impact our daily lives.

Causes of General Aches and Pains

Understanding the underlying causes of aches and pains is crucial for effective management. Below are some common factors.

Stress

Stress affects not only our mental health but also our physical well-being. It can lead to inflammation and heightened sensitivity, resulting in aches and pains.

Dehydration

Proper hydration is essential for normal bodily functions. Dehydration can cause muscle cramps and exacerbate discomfort.

Lack of Sleep

Inadequate sleep makes us more sensitive to pain and worsens existing symptoms. Quality sleep is essential for overall health.

Infections (Cold, Flu, and COVID-19)

Inflammatory responses during infections can lead to generalised aches and pains.

Anemia

Anaemia, characterised by insufficient red blood cells, affects oxygen delivery to tissues and can cause discomfort.

Vitamin D Deficiency

Low vitamin D levels are associated with muscle pain and weakness.

Fibromyalgia

A chronic condition symptoms include widespread pain, fatigue, and tender points in muscles.

Postural Stress

Poor posture can contribute to muscle tension, imbalances, and misalignment, leading to discomfort.

Functional or Strength Imbalances

Imbalances in muscle strength and flexibility can affect movement efficiency and contribute to aches and pains.

Treatments for General Aches and Pains

Effective management involves a holistic approach. Here are evidence-based strategies:

  • Stay Active: Engage in regular physical activity, prioritize tasks, and pace yourself to prevent overexertion.
  • Learn About Pain: Understand the mechanisms behind persistent pain and how it affects your nervous system.
  • Improve Mental Health: Meditation, relaxation techniques, and stress management play a crucial role in pain relief.
  • Optimise Sleep: Prioritise quality sleep to aid tissue repair and hormone release.
  • Chiropractic Care: Chiropractors use manual adjustments to address musculoskeletal issues, promoting better mobility and pain relief.
  • Physiotherapy: Physiotherapists offer exercises, stretches, and techniques to improve strength and flexibility.
