After your initial course of treatment, your practitioner may suggest some rehabilitative exercises or refer you to another practitioner qualified to offer these exercises. Once your condition has stabilised you can use these exercises on a regular basis for self care and to reduce the chance of your problem reoccurring.

In addition, following a routine of general exercise (gym, walking and cycling) as well as having a varied balanced diet will also help prevent your injury from returning and promote a healthy lifestyle.

It may also help the body to have a regular check up, the frequency of which will depend on individual needs, some patients like to be treated every few months, whereas others are happy to be checked once a year.
