Lordswood Osteopathic Clinic

Lordswood Osteopathic Clinic The Lordswood Osteopathic Clinic was established in 2010 and is run by Sue Jennings, BSc (Hons), Ost

I was born and have lived in Chatham all of my life, so when choosing where to open my osteopathic clinic, I always knew it would be in my local area of Lordswood so that I could offer help to the local community with their muscle, joint or back pain. Since opening the practice in 2010, it has grown significantly so that it now offers two treatment rooms and a really relaxed and calm waiting room

for patients. Our services have grown too so that now we not only offer osteopathy and cranial osteopathy, we also offer sports massage and medical acupuncture. As well as working at the practice, I assist with the examination process for the undergraduate osteopathic students at the European School of Osteopathy, Boxley, Maidstone. I examine the students on clinical neurology which is the assessment of the nervous system and is I feel, one of the most important parts of osteopathy. This special interest of mine has allowed me to help patients with neurological based problems such as disc injuries (prolapses), neurological migraines and strokes. I consider osteopathy to be very effective due to the wide range of different techniques available to the osteopath which allows each treatment to be suited to the individual patient. This means that treatment can be very successful but also means that the patient is very relaxed and confident within their treatment and rehabilitation stretches and exercises.

Sports massage isn’t just for athletes.

It’s a hands-on treatment designed to support muscles that feel tight, overworked or fatigued. Many people find it helpful when their body feels tense from training, exercise or even everyday activities.

At Lordswood Osteopathic Clinic, sports massage focuses on helping muscles relax, improving circulation, and encouraging better movement in areas that feel restricted.

With two new osteopaths now working with us, we’ve opened up new sports massage appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

If your muscles have been feeling tight, tired or overworked, this could be a good time to give them some attention.

🏅 Crossing the marathon finish line is a huge achievement, but your muscles don’t suddenly forget what they’ve just done.

It’s very normal to feel sore, heavy, and tired afterwards. Sometimes that settles in a few days. Sometimes certain areas stay tight or sluggish for longer than people expect.

A few simple things can help in the days after a marathon:
🔹 Give your body time before jumping straight back into training
🔹 Keep moving gently rather than doing nothing at all
🔹 Staying well hydrated
🔹 Eating properly, especially if your appetite drops after the event
🔹 Notice if one area feels more over worked than the rest

If your legs still feel heavy or certain muscles don’t seem to be settling, sports massage can be a useful way to support recovery and help things start to loosen off again.

After a big event, recovery isn’t about rushing back. It’s about giving your body a chance to come down from the effort it has just made.

Whether you run, cycle, go to the gym or simply stay active, recovery is an important part of looking after your body.

Muscles work hard during exercise. Over time they can become tight, fatigued or slightly restricted, particularly if you’re training regularly.

Sports massage is often used to help support recovery by:

⚡ Encouraging circulation to the muscles
⚡ Supporting flexibility and movement
⚡ Helping the body feel more comfortable between training sessions

It’s not about pushing through discomfort, it’s about helping muscles recover and function well.

We now have new sports massage availability on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

🏃 Not every runner wants a PB.
A lot of running content is aimed at people chasing times, chasing distance, or trying to improve performance in a very specific way.

But plenty of people run for other reasons. To clear their head. To keep fit. To feel better in themselves. To be consistent rather than competitive.

Those runners still get tight calves. They still end up with heavy legs. They still notice when one side feels like it is doing more than the other.

Sports massage isn’t only for serious athletes. It can be just as helpful for people who run regularly and want to stay comfortable, keep moving well, and stop small physical issues from building up.

You don’t need to be injured, and you don’t need a race in the diary to benefit from a bit of support with the physical side of running.

When life gets busy, it’s easy to focus on everything else and ignore what your body is telling you.

But physical strain often builds gradually. Long days, repetitive tasks, lifting, driving or rushing between commitments can quietly place extra demands on muscles and joints.

Small habits can help support your body during busier periods:

✔️ Try to vary your movements rather than repeating the same tasks for long stretches
✔️ Warm up your body before sudden activity like gardening, DIY or exercise
✔️ Switch sides when carrying bags or lifting where possible
✔️ Allow time for recovery after physically demanding days

Often it’s these small adjustments that help prevent tension building up over time.

And if your body does start feeling restricted or uncomfortable, getting it checked early can help restore comfortable movement.

🏃 In the final stretch before the London Marathon, preparation starts to look different.
As race day gets closer, most runners reach a point where the aim is no longer to push harder. It’s to arrive feeling as ready as possible.

By then, the body has usually had a lot thrown at it. Long runs, tired legs, bits of tightness that have been manageable so far. Even if training has gone well overall, it’s common to get to this stage and feel like everything is just a bit more loaded than usual.

This is why the final stretch is often less about adding more, and more about settling things down.

For some runners, sports massage can be a helpful part of that. Not because it changes the training you’ve already done, but because it can help ease some of the tension that’s built up and help movement feel a bit less restricted going into race day.

We tailor treatment to what feels most over worked, so the focus stays on helping your body feel more comfortable and prepared for race day.

Even if you exercise regularly, your body can still develop stiffness or imbalances.

One reason is movement variety.

Many people repeat the same activities week after week. Running, cycling, gym routines or even daily work tasks often involve very similar movement patterns.

Over time, certain muscles and joints become heavily used while others do very little. That imbalance can gradually lead to tension, reduced mobility, or recurring aches.

Your body benefits from movement that challenges it in different ways.

✔️ Changing exercise types occasionally
✔️ Adding mobility or stretching work
✔️ Balancing strength with flexibility
✔️ Giving heavily used areas time to recover

Movement variety helps keep the body adaptable, resilient, and better able to cope with everyday demands.

If recurring aches are starting to interrupt your activity, it may be worth looking at how your body is moving overall.
