Luisa Whitlock Osteopath & Naturopath Fully registered with 25 years of treating babies, pregnancy, sports injuries, back/neck pain, msk I may also use cranial osteopathy or acupuncture.

Osteopathy is a manual therapy focused on optimizing the body's function by keeping it's structure stable and balanced. Osteopaths are trained to diagnose and treat musculo-skeletal conditions. I look at treating the whole body to find the cause of the problem and not just treating the symptoms. Treatment can include soft tissue massage, joint mobilisations, stretching techniques and manipulation

to promote healing of the joints, muscles, ligaments and enhance the blood and nerve supply to an area.

Being out of routine can be good for a while and maybe inspire you to try new things all together as a family 🏄🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️🤿

Enjoy! 😊

🏝️ All packed and ready to go?

⚡️Lifting luggage in and out the car, on and off the conveyor belt, up and down the stairs and suddenly your back goes ahhhhhh! 😱

So here are some tips to stop your luggage from ruining your holiday:

🧳 don’t make them too heavy. It’s temping to fill to the brim but honestly they do have shops in the rest of the world!
🧳 test that you can lift them up to the over head locker or on/off the floor before you set off
🧳 use your knees to lift the load and don’t twist at the same time but move your feet to where you need it to go
🧳 if it has wheels, push rather than pull if possible
🧳 place and then slide when you can, rather than lifting

😎 If you do injure yourself, remember to rest, use ice, take ibuprofen if you can and book in with your osteopath asap!

Anyone for tennis? 🎾

My favourite fortnight of the sporting year so be ready for lots of tennis talk!

Tennis elbow, or more correctly lateral epicondylitis, isn’t just found in tennis players.
It is caused by repetitive or over use of the muscles in the forearm that move the wrist and hand.
While racquet sports can be a factor, it’s often seen in anyone doing manual repetetive tasks and even typing.

If you are suffering with pain, don’t wait to see if it will go away, get in touch and start your recovery today.

Players ready? Play! 🎾🎾🎾

How can osteopathy help my baby? 👶

🤰Birth may be a natural process but it’s not always easy. The stresses and strains that the baby is put through, especially during traumatic deliveries, can lead to tension and pressure especially around the head and neck area.
Babies can show these problems in the way they find it difficult to move, feed, sleep or digest properly and can make them very unhappy ☹️

🙌 Cranial osteopathy is a gentle approach to treating babies and young children. It works on pressure points and areas of tension in the body that are causing discomfort and allowing them to move, feed, sleep and digest more easily 💆

If you’d like more information on how osteopathy could help your baby, please get in touch 📞

We are in for a glorious week full of sunshine ☀️

❌ This is not the week for trying to get your PB or starting out a new exercise regime
🆒 Ideally exercise early in the morning or later in the evening when it is cooler.

☂️ Try to stay in the shade, wear sun cream, hats and sunglasses to protect you when outside

💦 It’s super important to keep hydrated in this weather, you want to be drinking before you feel thirsty as that is when your body is crying out for fluids.
🍨 Look out for the little ones too, they need more encouragement to drink. Ice lollies and watery foods like cucumber and melon will also help you to stay hydrated 🍉

Enjoy the sun but be safe 😎

Rest is good for you 😴

⚖️ You don’t always have to be doing something, good health is about balance.
☺️Rest is good for physical and mental well-being. It allows the body time to repair and recover while boosting your mood and reducing anxiety.

We had a lovely couple of days in Dorset last week and it was just the medicine I needed to feel refreshed and ready to tackle all your aches and pains 💪🏻

🌳 I am incredibly lucky to live and work just a short walk from the beautiful Harrold and Odell Country Park.
🦆 Nature is very soothing and can help to relax and reduce anxiety.

I know many of you try to incorporate a walk around when you come for your appointment and it really is a wonderful way to help your body settle down after treatment 🧘🏻‍♀️

Whenever you can, try and find time to immerse yourself in nature, even if it’s just watching the world go by with tea and cake 😉
