Bramhall Osteopathic Practice

Important update from Jo...

Well, after 43 years working as an osteopath and 4 years prior to that training to be one, I have finally made the decision to retire. It’s been a really hard decision as I truly love my job, patients, and everyone I work with, however, my body is saying it needs a bit of R & R!

I would like to thank you all for being part of my amazing osteopathic journey. I’ve met, treated and worked with such fantastic and inspiring people and feel totally privileged to have had this as a huge part of my life. I feel I’ve never stopped learning and being inspired by what osteopathy can offer patients. I’m sure there’s still much more out there too!

I am aiming to finish at the end of August this year. It would be lovely to see you before I finish and help you decide a future pathway for your care. Chris Heywood and the other members of the osteopathic team are fantastic practitioners and I know will look after you well.

I will always be around, so the practice can pass on any queries if I don’t catch you before I finish.

Once again, thank you for your trust, support and inspiration. Wishing you all health and happiness.
Best wishes
Jo

We're really pleased to welcome Fiona to the team 🌿

Fiona qualified as an osteopath in 2016 and brings a wealth of experience, both in clinical practice and in teaching. She uses a gentle, holistic approach—combining cranial and visceral techniques with movement and exercise to support the body as a whole.

Before becoming an osteopath, Fiona spent over 20 years in the health and fitness world, including cardiac rehab and even running a gymnastics programme in New Zealand, where she’s recently returned from after working as an osteopath on the North Island.

She’s passionate about helping people feel better in their bodies and brings a calm, thoughtful energy to her treatments.

If you’d like to book in with Fiona, she’s now available for appointments on Tuesday's from 9.15am.

Pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain & other conditions in pregnancy.
We have a digital form of this lovely booklet for patients recently updated and written by physiotherapists.
It clearly explains and reassures anyone struggling with aches and pains in pregnancy. Many women I speak to just want some guidance on how to manage during their pregnancy. They don't always know what is 'norrmal' Aches and pains are to be expected. But distressing and disabling pain is not.

This booklet explains what might contribute to pain and some self help tips. Often, this is all that is needed.
But if not, do ask your midwife to refer to physio. Or, consider an appointment with our pelvic health physio Dee Woodcock.

If you would like a digital copy of the full booklet just drop us a message as we can send it over to you 😊

A fun exercise to help your posture.!
I often give this evercise to help patients become more aware of their posture and improve their balance.
Why not have some fun with it? Simply stand with a book (or packet of mince pies - if you are feeling festive !) on your head.
Think of pushing up into the book - lifting and opening your posture.
Once you get good at this, try closing your eyes or balance on one leg at a time or walk backwards or forwards or even go up or down stairs.!! You can always challenge a friend or family member.
Enjoy.
Happy festive period.

Pregnancy and Acupuncture

Being pregnant can be one of the most wonderful and joyful times for a woman. But if painful conditions such as lower back, hip or pelvic girdle pain kick in, it can be more a case of limping through those last few weeks. And with pain medication options reduced, it can be difficult to know where to turn for help.

The good news, however, is that acupuncture is usually a very successful intervention for these pregnancy-related pain conditions. We offer simple and safe acupuncture treatments to women throughout pregnancy and see lots of success stories in the clinic. Sometimes one or two treatments can be enough to make a difference and sometimes weekly sessions over a longer period might be needed.

If you’d like to know more, please contact Fiona Bullock at the clinic for a free discussion.
