Listen all you horny bastards, you need to stop having sex. Seriously. It’s devastating the country. It’s your fault that health insurance premiums are rising at alarming rates.
Don’t believe me? Just ask one of the world’s most popular osteopaths, who says he’s seen an 80 percent (!!!!) increase in sex related injuries over the past five years.
So next time you think about putting it in the butt while planking between your kitchen island and the toaster oven, don’t.
In all seriousness though, sex-related injuries have become a real concern among many in the medical field, which often leads to serious back related health problems.
“But in the last five years that’s now increased to around 80 per cent. It’s a significant jump, and quite surprising.”
He said while most patients are men in their mid 50s, medics do treat a large number of women as well.
The 37-year-old said: “When it comes to sex, we see everything from neck injuries to wrist fractures, ankle sprains and, of course, back problems. Hernias are common, too, close to where the adductor muscles of the pelvic region become strained.
“With the back, we see everything from facet joint locks – where the back spasms and locks in a particular position – to full-blown disc prolapses and sciatic pain.
“And the reasons for the rise in sexual injuries is intriguing. To me it’s also a positive, because it shows the patient-clinician relationship is working at a point where there’s real trust.”
Many patients are too embarrassed to tell their doctors how they’ve hurt themselves, according to physicians, who say that only prolongs the pain.
