'Pura Vida' is a phrase used in costa rica and other latin countries. In costa rica, it is used to convey a sense of positivity, contentment and appreciation for the simple things in life. It can be used as a greeting, a farewell, or an expression of gratitude or happiness. It can also be used as an attitude or a way of life that emphasises living in the present, enjoying simple pleasures, and maintaining a positive outlook in difficult times. Pain & injuries can have a significant impact on a persons ability to live in the present moment. When a person is experiencing pain, it can be difficult to focus on anything other than the discomfort that they are feeling. This can make it challenging to engage in daily activities, concentrate on work or school, and enjoy sports or other leisure time. Pain can also lead to feelings of frustration, stress and anxiety, which can further impact a person’s ability to be present and engaged in the moment. This can cause a person to feel irritable and short-tempered, and can also interfere with their ability to sleep, leading to a cycle of fatigue and decreased energy. It can become challenging to maintain social connections and engage with activities that were once enjoyable. Managing pain effectively is important not only to alleviate physical discomfort, but also to improve a persons overall quality of life. Allowing them to be more present and engaged in their daily activities and interactions with others. Their 'Pura Vida'

Updates to infection prevention protocol* For now, we will no longer be asking patients to wear masks at the Pura Vida Osteopathic Clinic during appointments, which means we get to see your face again! We will be continuing to assess patients on a case by case basis, and if patients have any preferences towards wearing masks, our practitioners will be happy to accommodate that. Simply mention it to reception when booking in over the phone, or email us if you’ve booked in online. We'll continue to pre-screen our patients prior to their appointment, provide hand sanitizer on arrival. We will be reviewing this, should there be any changes to our guidance.

Contributors Due to the location of the hip, a lot of different structures can contribute to pain In this area. The lumbar spine, and sacroiliac joints can refer to this area. Similarly, compensation patterns can refer up from issues affecting the knee and the ankle. This is why we’ll look at your whole body during your assessment & assess each of the areas individually. This helps us build up a picture of the contributing factors, and gives us direction when it comes to developing a treatment plan. #hippain #hiptreatment #notjustbacks #osteopathy #osteopathicmedicine #manipulation #sportstape #exerciserehab #strengthening #hipcare #osteopaths
