Exercise and depression. Are they a good mix?

In Osteopathy practice we ask what motivated someone to consult us. Often pain and stiffness is the answer. However, another reason is worry about their problem and the fact that they cannot work or do the activities they enjoy most. The sports injury case is often amplified by fear that they cannot perform or compete or even enjoy the social aspects of team sports. If treatment has failed them over an extended period or more importantly the have no diagnosis or treatment plan they feel let down and even depressed. Many of life's stresses they have pushed away or managed with exercise begin to play on the individuals mind and can create greater depression and lack of motivation.

It is not that their injury is always due to damage but is a functional problem that needs insight and understanding and perhaps hands on treatment such as osteopathy . A plan of action with goals and outcome measures. At least then sports men or women who are professional or amateur can feel they have some way forwards. Depression is clearly a complex issue and very individual and requires individual care rather than generic case management.
