Christmas is upon us - and no-one wants to suffer and not feel great over the festive period; we all want to smile, laugh and enjoy ourselves.

But what about anyone suffering from pain? A stiff neck? A sore back? A creaky knee? I’m sure you know of someone – maybe even yourself – who has one of those aliments.

It’s cold and maybe it’s not all about Christmas cheer. But we have the answer for your problems.

And now, I’m about to give you one of the biggest reasons why so many people love coming to rely on a hands-on physio – because it’s the polar opposite to relying upon painkillers.

Because I want you to understand how much value a physio can bring to your lifestyle, I want you to take a quick look at the reasons why physio can often be a better option than taking painkillers.

There are – no nasty lasting side effects; it wins the war - and not just the little battles; physio gets to the very root of your pain to stop it, not mask it with little victories that don’t last or mean anything in the end; you’re not reliant on physio for months or years, physio doesn’t lure you into telling yourself “I’m doing OK today” to be hit hard by pain when you didn’t expect it. and the effects of physio don’t wear off after just four hours or less in some cases.

Now don’t get me wrong - taken at the right time, and for the right reasons, I encourage anyone to take painkillers, if the GP advises it.

But I disagree wholeheartedly with painkillers being prescribed without the root cause of the problem being addressed first.

If that isn’t done, your problem will come back, and it will lead to a dependency on painkillers (instant gratification). This is how people get hooked on them for years and end up with the side effects.

Many people I help think of physio as an escape route from relying upon painkillers and prescriptions, and it’s true.

Physio lets you get active and healthy again on your terms, at a convenient time, without any fear of side effects.
