In most cases there is nothing wrong, and the next stage of the examination is to diagnose the cause  (Muscle strain, joint sprain, Disc herniation, arthritis flare up (spondylosis) etc )  Diagnosis of the problem leads naturally to a treatment plan. The right diagnosis of the problem will lead to the right treatment. The first part of the treatment plan is always pain management, using techniques such as gentle exercises, heat or ice abd breathing techniques. Once your pain has reduced Mr Massey will start to treat its root cause, usually at a later session.

Some people just want to get rid of the pain, and once they have done that they do not want any other treatment. The problem with this approach is that the pain may have a tendency to return as the underlying condition worsens. If you want to get to the root of the problem, in most cases you will benefit from a rehabilitation programme which may include, stretching, strengthening and postural exercises as well as occasional check-ups.
