My wife has also had treatment that has shown a massive improvement. I would and have been highly recommending people to use the team and Phil if they have issues."

International Women's Day (IWD) has been around for over a hundred years, as have many of the issues still impacting women's advancement. Since 1911, IWD belongs to all who care about gender equality.
Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to forge gender parity. All IWD activity is valid, that's what makes IWD so inclusive.

Walking briskly can help you to build stamina,burn excess calories and make your heart healthier.

How can changing my diet help relieve constipation?

If you’ve ever had constipation, you know just how uncomfortable it can be. Stomach aches that refuse to shift and constant bloating are common complaints.

There are many causes, including certain medications and illnesses, pelvic floor problems, a lack of physical activity, anxiety, dehydration and dietary triggers.

Research suggests 1 in 7 adults or 15% of people report suffering from it and the figures are commonly higher in children and older adults.

While diet is not constipation’s only cause or treatment, it can make a substantial difference for some sufferers, so it is worth exploring.

Fibre
Fibre is a key nutrient in managing constipation. The dietary recommendation is 30g per day and most of us – 91% in fact – aren’t eating enough. However, fibre is quite a complex nutrient and there are different types, which have different effects.
Other foods to try
There are some specific foods that can have an impact on your constipation. For example, prunes can have a natural laxative effect and eating two gold kiwi fruits a day (skin on) has been shown to help decrease straining.

Fibre supplement psyllium husk can be helpful for some people, too.

Probiotics are sometimes mentioned as helpful for constipation. The issue here is that you need the probiotic with the right bacterial strain in it. Just taking any old probiotic that you pick up in the shop is not likely to be helpful, so this is something to check with a health care professional.

Private MRI Scans available in Buxton and Bakewell: How MRI Works & When You May Need One.

What Is an MRI Scan?
An MRI scan is a completely non-invasive imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce highly detailed pictures of the inside of your body. Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRI does not use radiation, making it safer for repeated or long-term use.
MRI is particularly good at showing:
Spinal discs
Nerves
Spinal canal and openings (foramina)
Muscles and ligaments
Joints
Soft-tissue inflammation
Swelling, cysts and synovial changes
This level of detail makes MRI the gold standard for diagnosing spinal and musculoskeletal conditions.
When Should You Consider a Private MRI Scan?
Many people choose a private MRI scan when they want answers quickly, without long waiting times or uncertainty.Some of the most common reasons include:

1. Unexplained Back or Neck Pain

Persistent or recurring pain that doesn’t improve with early treatment may indicate a disc or nerve issue.

2. Sciatica or Trapped Nerves

MRI shows whether nerves exiting the spine are compressed, irritated or inflamed — essential for correct treatment.

3. Suspected Disc Bulge or Herniation

IDD Therapy is particularly effective for disc-related pain, but accurate diagnosis helps determine if it’s suitable.

4. Pins and Needles, Weakness, or Radiating Pain

Neurological symptoms often require imaging to identify the cause.

5. Ongoing Joint Pain

MRI provides excellent images of hips, knees, shoulders and ankles.

6. Post-Accident or Injury Assessment

MRI can identify soft-tissue damage not visible on X-ray.

7. When You Want a Clear Diagnosis Without Delay

Private MRI avoids long NHS waiting times and allows you to take control of your health.

Migraines and Headaches

70% of headaches are related to tension in your neck and shoulders.
Many people do not realise that osteopaths treat headaches and migraines, and why would they?

However it is estimated that roughly 70% of headaches occur because they are related to musculoskeletal issues in the neck and upper back. Many people end up on the merry-go-round of using painkillers and undergoing various consultations both with their GP and specialists but quite often there can be a relatively simple answer.
Treatment from an osteopath may help. Gentle massage to the tight muscles and manipulation to loosen the joints of the neck, thorax and back can relieve the build-up of muscular tension that may lead to headaches. Osteopaths can also advise on exercise and lifestyle changes and offer guidance on simple changes to your posture when at work or driving which may help.

Stress

Stress triggers a "fight-or-flight" response, releasing cortisol and adrenaline that increase heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. Chronic stress causes widespread, serious harm, including muscle tension, headaches, digestive issues (nausea, diarrhea), weakened immunity, insomnia, and increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Feeling stressed can be normal, healthy and helpful – depending on the situation. Stress is the fight-or-flight response that gets you through job interviews, impromptu speeches and those awkward encounters with your ex. In these situations, stress helps you to overcome a short-term challenge that you know you can handle. It’s only a problem when it’s constant or the situation is out of your control. At times like these, it’s important to know how to deal with stress.
To quickly reduce stress, practice deep, diaphragmatic nose breathing, take a short walk, or engage in physical activity to release endorphins. Effective long-term strategies include practicing mindfulness/meditation, maintaining a balanced diet, prioritizing sleep, and managing your time to avoid being overwhelmed.

New 5.0-star Review: "I had an outstanding experience and cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first appointment, their depth of knowledge was evident. They took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, ask detailed questions, and truly listen to my concerns before beginning any treatment. What impressed me most was their ability to explain everything so clearly. They broke down complex anatomical and biomechanical concepts into simple, easy-to-understand explanations, which made me feel informed and confident about the treatment plan. I never felt rushed, and every technique they used was explained beforehand, including what it was meant to achieve. Their professionalism was exceptional throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for an osteopath who combines extensive knowledge, clear communication, and true professionalism, I would absolutely recommend. An excellent practitioner who genuinely cares about their patients’ wellbeing."

Our Story

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)
