How to stay well this winter
Tips to help you stay well this winter and get the care you need.
Winter comes with a higher risk of health issues, particularly for older people or those with long-term conditions and compromised immune systems.
Being cold can raise the risk of higher blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes. The cold, damp weather can aggravate existing health problems, making you more vulnerable to respiratory winter illnesses. But there are things you can do to stay well.
Get your vaccines and boosters.
Keep warm during the day.
Wrap up at night.
Eat well.
Stay hydrated.
Have your medication on hand.
Stop the spread of germs.
Look after your mental health

Keeping Your Liver Healthy
A healthy liver is vital for so many things, from detoxification to immune defence. Learn what to eat, and what to avoid, to keep yours healthy…
The liver is one of the key players of our digestive system. It takes on over 500 essential functions and is simply vital for our overall health. From energy production and fat digestion to immune defence and nutrient absorption, this unsung hero works tirelessly.
While genetics and issues with the immune system play a role in some liver conditions, lifestyle choices, including diet, can significantly impact liver health. Alcohol-related liver disease (ARLD) stems from excessive alcohol consumption, while non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is caused by a build-up of fat in the liver.
Understanding how to maintain a healthy balanced diet is one of the ways that we can support good liver health to ensure that it functions effectively.

A Pilates Reformer is a specialised, bed-like apparatus with a sliding carriage, springs, straps, and a footbar, invented by Joseph Pilates, that uses adjustable resistance to build core strength, flexibility, alignment, and balance through controlled movements, making it suitable for all fitness levels from rehab to athletic conditioning. Its spring system offers both support and challenge, allowing for hundreds of low-impact exercises performed lying, standing, or kneeling, focusing on deep muscle engagement and precise body control.
Key Benefits
Core Strength: Targets deep core muscles (transverse abdominals, obliques, lower back) for better stability.
Strength & Tone: Lengthens and tones muscles, working slow-twitch fibers.
Flexibility & Mobility: Improves range of motion and spinal alignment.
Low-Impact: Gentle on joints, great for rehabilitation.
Improved Posture & Balance: Enhances body awareness and control.

Battling the winter blues
Mental health tips to help you through January and the notoriously difficult winter months, from our psychosocial and mental health team.
It's important to be aware of your mental health throughout the year but, for many, January and the start of a new year can be an especially tough month. If you’re feeling low or anxious of late, take some time for yourself with these tips
About cold weather and health
Whilst exposure to cold weather can affect anyone, some people are particularly at risk. These include:
older people (aged 65 years and over)
people with long-term health conditions such as cardiovascular or respiratory disease, or a mental health condition
pregnant women
young children (particularly those aged 5 and under)
people with learning disabilities
people at risk of falls
people who live alone and may be unable to care for themselves
people who are housebound or have low mobility
people living in deprived circumstances
There are many reasons for the increased risk of ill-health in cold weather. These include:
poor quality housing and particularly cold homes
higher frequency of circulating infectious diseases, such as flu and norovirus during the winter months
physical hazards such as snow and ice.
During cold weather, people may also use malfunctioning or inappropriate appliances to heat their homes. This can increase the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
When a house is damp as well as cold, mould is more likely to occur. This can increase the risk of illness, especially from asthma.
Keep your home warm
You should heat your home to a temperature that is comfortable for you. Low indoor temperatures can have a serious impact on your health, especially if you have medical conditions or are older.
Simple changes can help to keep you and your home warm. These include:
try to heat rooms you spend a lot of time in, such as the living room or bedroom, to at least 18°C
try to reduce draughts; you can fit draft excluders around doors cheaply
keep your bedroom windows closed at night
wear several layers of thinner clothing; this could keep you warmer than one thicker layer

What's in season in January
Start the year right with plenty of seasonal fruit and veg available through January, making those healthy eating resolutions a little bit easier. Choose between savoury toast in the morning with creamy avocados, or sweet with tangy homemade marmalade using sharp Seville oranges. Earthy Savoy cabbage and purple sprouting broccoli bulk out winter dinners, while lemons and limes brighten up the grey days.
Kiwis
Avocado
Pink grapefruit
Lemons
Purple sprouting broccoli
Limes
Savoy cabbage
Seville oranges

The Buxton Osteopathy Clinic opened in 2008 and quickly established itself as a firm favourite for people and their aches and pains.
The clinic uses traditional osteopathy to address chronic and acute soft tissue and joint pains. In addition to this it also uses cutting edge medical equipment such as IDD Therapy, and Shockwave Therapy.
IDD Therapy is a non-invasive alternative to surgery. It addresses slipped or herniated discs, nerve pain such as sciatica, degenerative disc issues and chronic lower back and neck pain.
Shockwave therapy is also a new technology that addresses chronic tendon issues throughout the body such as tennis and golfers elbow, rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder, patella tendinopathies and heel pain (such as Plantar Fasciitus and heel spurs)
The clinic offers osteopathy six days a week and we have three osteopaths (Phil Heler, Rebecca Burtt, and Zain Jawaid) and all three of us are registered and strictly regulated by the General Osteopathic Council and also registered with major health insurance companies. Between the three of us we have 40 years experience and in the 10 years we have been open we have administered roughly 20,000 treatments for a wide range of ailments to 4500 different people from home and abroad. Since June 2017 Osteopathy has now been formally recognized by NHS England. Osteopaths are now regarded as AHP’s (Allied health professionals along with other professions such as Physiotherapists and Paramedics).
