Aches or injuries can be a pain at best, and affect your quality of life at worst. We look at how to prevent these where possible, and treatment and management where not.
Your muscles, bones and joints form your musculoskeletal system, holding your body together, supporting freedom of movement and helping to differentiate you from a jellyfish (there are other differences...). Broken bones, sprains, strains, osteoporosis, arthritis and general aches and pains can dramatically affect your independence and quality of life. We guide you through options for preventing, treating and managing some of these problems.
