Osteopathy

I would feel worse for a day or so but then feel the benefits of it. Is it your first time going? It could take your body a few times to get used to it or the person is not the right fit for you

@Lucy i only went for a consultation. It was quite uncomfortable and I felt like being sick after. Is that normal? I’m on day 3 now and feel like as days are going on I’m feeling up and down and its put me in a big flare up today which i havent had in a long time 😭 i’m not sure if maybe for me i might need longer to feel some benefit or if its just not for me at all. I hope this passes quickly. I’m really struggling

I know some people with fibro say they can't manage any physical therapy. For me I get some benefit, I feel worse for a day sometimes and then feel better for it but sometimes it really depends on the professional as sometimes my body dosent react at all. I never got anything out of osteopathy but do from physio and chiropractors but everyone's different. I once tried bowen therapy and persisted for 5 sessions as I could feel my body trying to improve but I would spend the whole week feeling worse and sick

@Lucy thank you for that information, Lucy. I didn’t know that. I dont know anyone with my condition. I’ve only tried chinese acupuncture which if you find a good practitioner could help. His practice is far and dont have anyone to take me so unfortunately had to stop. I felt a massive improvement with it too so its a shame. I think i’ll give osteopathy a miss though x

Some physios can do acupuncture as well so you might be able to find an alternative closer to you. It's all trial and error unfortunately 😕. I feel like I've tried a lot over the years so feel free to message me x

@Lucy this osteo i went to does acupuncture too and much closer to me so i was hopeful and he had a lot of 5star reviews. He was recommending having a combination of both but in consultation without expecting it started pulling and prodding me which made me feel so ill lol 😭 i’m uncertain if i should try his acupuncture now 🙈

Yeah i would just be tense going back to him in that case. When you settled back down again maybe try someone different

@Lucy thank you for responding Lucy. I wish you all the best in your recovery 🌻
