As Greg Lake sang in his wonderful song I believe in Father Christmas :

I wish you a hopeful Christmas, I wish you a brave new year,
all anguish pain and sadness leave your heart and let your road be clear . . .

This was one of the songs we sang when I was playing for a village Christmas event. If you are a current patient, then you will know that I am involved with seasonal concerts and services – and huge fun it is, too!

And they are all so different, which is part of the pleasure. Ranging from Renaissance polyphony via fabulous arrangements of Gaudete and O Come O Come Emmanuel through to A Spaceman Came Travelling and A Fairy Tale of New York.

Whatever you are doing over the festive period, I hope it all goes as well and as smoothly as possible – and a big thank you for your custom this last year.

There is a wonderful African saying: "If you can walk you can dance, if you can talk, you can sing."

If there’s a chance to sing, seize it & relish every moment. GPs are prescribing singing instead of medication! https://buff.ly/3J6ySfD

Inflammation plays a significant role in so many diseases and painful processes – and there are various herbs and spices which can help to reduce it.

Turmeric is the star amongst these, whether:
- the ground powder in a spice jar, or one of those big bags from the Indian section in the supermarket
- the root itself [great added to a smoothie] if you can find it in ethnic shops, and some independent health food shops,
- or as a tea – there are various blends available if you look in the herbal tea section. I particularly like the one from Sainsbury’s, but I know that Twining’s and Pukka also have turmeric-based recipes.

However, be warned that if you drink turmeric tea, it might stain your mug bright yellow – I keep a black mug for when I drink it!

Turmeric is a warming spice, rather than a fiery one – with an earthy kind of flavour. You can add a little bit to all sorts of recipes, whether sweet or savoury, without necessarily being able to taste it.

Above all, keep moving – or at the very least, Sit Less – and consider booking yourself an osteopathic MOT for a tune-up.

Your osteopathic treatment will involve a combination of physical manipulation (not “cracking”), stretching & massage; and also cranial osteopathy. I also advise on the use of hot or cold, rest or exercise, postural changes, and can, if necessary, give an off-work certificate.
