🌟The million dollar question - What is an osteopath?🌟

🫶🏻Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a wide range of health problems by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework — which includes the bones 🦴 , joints, muscles, and spine. 💪🏻

Osteopaths use hands-on techniques💆🏻 to improve circulation, relieve pain, and restore mobility 🏃🏼‍♂️

These methods include stretching, massage, and gentle joint manipulation and occasionally the use of additional skill sets like acupuncture, cranial osteopathy and K Tape.

We also often offer lifestyle advice on posture, exercise, diet, and ergonomics to support long-term recovery and health. 💖

🌟 Creating Positive Medical Experiences for Our Little Ones 🌟

As a mum and paediatric osteopath, I believe that every child's visit to the clinic should be a positive and empowering experience. 🏥💫

🩺Why It Matters: Positive experiences during medical appointments can shape how children perceive healthcare for the rest of their lives.

When children feel safe, understood, and cared for, they are more likely to approach future medical visits with confidence and ease.

💖Our Approach:

👋A Warm Welcome: We greet every child with a smile and a friendly hello. Involving their favourite toy or teddy often helps make them feel safe so we encourage their attendance too!

🫶🏻Gentle Techniques: Our treatments are tailored to be as gentle as possible, ensuring that children feel relaxed and secure. We will always explain if there will be a little discomfort and describe to them how this will feel beforehand and that we will stop immediately if they need us too.

📚Interactive Play: We have toys and books in clinic to help them play if needed to make the visit enjoyable and engaging.

🏅Reward: We give stickers at the end of our treatments to reward their bravery and encourage repeat visits.

🧑‍🧒Parental Involvement: We encourage parents to be part of the process, providing comfort and reassurance to their little ones. We always have parents as close as possible during treatment and can offer treatment on a parent lap if needed.

🌈The Goal: To create a nurturing environment where children leave with a smile, looking forward to their next visit. Together, we can build a foundation of trust and positivity that lasts a lifetime.

Let's make every appointment a happy one! 🌟

💤🛏️So after 3 nights of using my new groove.pillows I am absolutely astounded! I have been suffering with acute lower back pain 💊every morning on and off for years and this has so far given me a break! I have also more recently developed a stiff neck and this has now totally disappeared too after about 3 days of sleep 🤞

I really thought this may be a gimic but after I saw other recommending this I thought I should give it a try! 🎉

I’m a convert! I went with a standard pillow but if you are more broad or petite they also do a custom fit one so you can adjust the height. 📏

💴 They are SO reasonably priced too in the pillow market, I will be getting in touch to see whether this is something we could stock in clinic for patients too.

A few other things I recommend my patients keep by their bedside table:

🎾- a tennis ball can really help for trigger point pain relief. If you are awake in the night try lying on the ball into your bottom for lower back pain or onto your shoulder blade for arm/shoulder pain - it feels sore but a good sore and a few minutes you will be feeling better!

🛀 - magnesium/epsom salts - for the right concentration you need A LOT to benefit in a bath so use 1tsp of Epsom salt dissolved in 100ml of water and decant into a spray bottle. This is the answer if you suffer with night cramps!

🧴- CBD rub in from puresport, this can give almost immediate relief from MSK pain, you just rub it into the area you need pain relief. One of the best on the market!

🥱 - jaw clenching or teeth grinding is the number one cause of headaches when you wake up. Getting a facial roller can help relieve tension in these intricate facial muscles and reduce the tension alleviating headaches and it feels sore relaxing too!

☀️Such a treat to run into your team mates on stock drops to clinic. I am so lucky to have the most wonderful team working with me. 🥰

Emma is one of our 5 podiatrists 🦶and since she started my inbox has been very busy with all the positive things patients have to say about her. ❤️

🎉This week I got a lovely review explaining how she got rid of a young chap’s very stubborn verruca (which he affectionately named Vardy) within 2 weeks!! 💪🏻

I hear from Emma he was such a brave boy and being so inspired by Emma’s appointment he has started to eat a little more veg in his diet to stop Vardy coming back!! 🥑🥒

Emma works with us on a Wednesday and Thursday - hop online to get your feet sorted ✔️
