The gardening season has started and, all over Britain,
hundreds of chiropractors are rubbing their hands in glee as thousands of gardeners
beat a hasty path to their doors to remove the pain from their shoulders, the
ache from their backs and the cricks in their necks… but it needn’t be like
that.
There is a myth that things need to hurt after a day in the
garden, so accepted by gardeners and physicians alike that nobody bothers to do
anything about it other than suffer in silence, reach for the pain killers or
give up gardening – which is a shame because gardening is not just good for the
soul but can be an excellence source of exercise, fresh air and sunlight, if
done right.
