I am thinking of visiting my local Osteopath because I have a really achey feeling in the centre of my upper back.
I have always been aware of a back pain when I was younger because I did part-time jobs which involved a lot of lifting and reaching over for things. But I did not think much of it at the time.
Lately my back has been really hurting and I always feel like I need to lie down, stretch it or have a warm bath to help it to feel less painful or put some kind of heat on it. Recently I have been looking after our new pet puppy and although it sounds silly I feel this may have caused the pain to come back as bending down and clearing up after him has been quite hard work!
I also have always had quite bad posture and have always hunched my shoulders forward slightly. I am only 22 but feel like my bad posture has had an effect on my back. I know that my posture is like this because of a lack of confidence and shyness but I feel a bit embarrassed discussing this with the osteopath. In what ways will they be able to help my posture.
I am healthy and do exercise regularly so don't think it is my lifestyle.
