I am posting this video of punch in super-slow motion to illustrate how we may end up with strains within the head and face.

In order to absorb the punch the boxer’s face is capable of moulding and deforming to avoid breaking. This is a built -in safety mechanism to absorb forces. If the force applied to head or face is too great the strain my remain in the tissue long after the event. This can be the case after birth, an accident or injury. Osteopaths are one of the few disciplines use specific hands on techniques to address these strains directly. Strains within the head and face can be a cause of :

• Recurrent sinusitis
• Recurrent ear infections
• Headaches
• Neck Pain
• Excessive crying and poor settling in babies.
