The Summer is well and truly here, which means that as a BS6 osteopath in Henleaze, I'm now seeing more patients for a pre-holiday body check-up service in Bristol.

During the Summer months, when patients go on holiday, they often undertake new activities such as coastal path walks, water sports as well as playing games on the beach. This can expose their bodies to new and different stresses and strains, with new movements.

Before going away, it is important to consider a pre-holiday body check-up service in Bristol.

This is where a Maintenance Osteopathic Treatment (MOT) at my BS6 osteopathic clinic can help, to give patients peace of mind, a professional assessment and some preventive treatment of any areas of weakness before heading off for their holiday activities.

A Summer holiday often brings a change in activity levels for many of my patients, with families going on their annual vacation.

Elderly patients are also more active in the Summer months, spending more time outdoors gardening, walking, and playing seasonal games such as Bowls.

During these times, when the body is going through seasonal adaptation for the Summer and annual holidays, the body can be susceptible to specific issues with joints or muscles, as well as making underlying previous problems reoccur for some patients, both old and young.

Maintenance Osteopathic Treatments (MOT) at my Bristol clinic can be vital to some patients, for maintaining a better level of movement, preventing issues developing, and maintaining flexibility and stability during the Summer months.

We give our cars an annual MOT and service, so why not do the same for ourselves? Just before a well-deserved break is the perfect time to undertake a pre-holiday body check-up service with me in Bristol.

In essence, a pre-holiday body check service at my Bristol osteopathic clinic can be considered as a useful injury prevention measure this Summer for patients.
