Common Aches & Pains We See This Time of Year

  • February 11, 2025
  • The AG Team

January and February are a time for fresh starts, but it also comes with its fair share of seasonal aches and pains! Whether it’s post-holiday stress, a return to work routines, or increased training for spring fitness goals, we see a surge in certain musculoskeletal issues at this time of year.

If you’re struggling with any of the following, now is the perfect time to prioritise your well-being with osteopathy in Tunbridge Wells.

Neck Pain and Headaches

The post-holiday period often brings increased stress, long hours at a desk, and poor posture; all of which can lead to persistent neck pain and tension headaches. If you’ve noticed tightness creeping in, osteopathy can help relieve muscular tension and restore proper alignment, helping you move more freely and comfortably.

Knee, Hip, and Achilles Tendon Pain

With spring marathons on the horizon and running more popular than ever, we’re seeing a rise in knee, hip, and Achilles tendon issues. Many of these injuries stem from overuse and improper training techniques. 

We can help by addressing muscular imbalances, improving joint mobility, and ensuring your body is prepared for the demands of running.

(Pro tip: Running more doesn’t necessarily make you a better runner! Strength training plays a crucial role in injury prevention and performance.)

If you’re experiencing any of these nagging pains, now is the ideal time to check in before they develop into long-term issues.

Why Regular Osteopathy Sessions Matter in 2025

One of the greatest benefits of osteopathy in Tunbridge Wells is the ability to catch and address problems early; before they escalate into chronic conditions. Many people wait until pain becomes unbearable before seeking treatment, but regular osteopathy sessions help maintain mobility, reduce discomfort, and prevent injuries from taking hold.

At our clinic, we take a holistic approach to well-being. We don’t just treat physical pain; we also consider factors like stress, posture, and lifestyle habits. Whether you’re dealing with persistent discomfort, recovering from an injury, or simply wanting to stay proactive with your health, we’re here to support you.

Silas Tye

I take a comprehensive approach to osteopathic care, combining structural and functional treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Where appropriate, I incorporate movement-based strategies and personalised exercises to help patients build resilience and take an active role in managing and improving their symptoms both in the clinic, at home or in a fitness environment.

Before qualifying as an osteopath, I began my career in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, specialising in rehabilitation and recovery from injuries and illness. This foundation has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to help people move better, overcome painful injuries, and reclaim their lifestyles. I am a firm believer in the power of movement and its ability to transform health and well-being.

“I value movement above all else and believe that if we all moved more and moved better, we could achieve healthier, more resilient bodies. With the demands of modern life, it’s essential to keep our bodies moving and functioning optimally.”

Outside of work, I am a proud dog parent to Amber and enjoy staying active through training at the gym and CrossFit. I am also passionate about my hobbies, which include Warhammer, Dungeons and Dragons, cooking, cinema, video games, and sharing great meals with my wife.

Angus grew up in East Sussex where both he and his family saw an osteopath regularly from a young age. After leaving school he explored different career options and decided to expand his knowledge in the area of health sciences.

The type of techniques you can expect Angus to use are; joint manipulation and articulation, neuromuscular technique, muscle energy technique, myofascial release, joint harmonics, deep soft tissue techniques and exercise prescription.
