Loneliness often leads to terrible health outcomes.

We're not a solitary species despite how individualistic the western world.

Loneliness depresses our ability to amount healthy stress responses and often leads to poor coping mechanisms.

I know it's hard and loneliness is sticky. But scheduling time with friends, loved ones, starting new groups etc can do wonders for our health.

If you want to return to health, return to nature.

"let food be thy nature" as Hippocrates said.

If you're in pain, unfit, poor mental health, suffering with chronic pain, poor health health, blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol etc...

Within your own capacity, return to nature.

Schedule time outside, eat natural food, move fast, lift things, spend time with your friends and family.

Often when we do so, the hard things don't seem so hard. And our health fortifies around our diseases so that they have less of an effect.

If you need any help returning to nature and living an actualised life, let us know.

Osteopathy differs to Western Medicine. But they overlaps.

Western medicine leans towards the eradication of disease.

Osteopathy is towards health, knowing that health is more than the absence of disease.

This is why Osteopaths often lean more towards "actualisation" ie helping you to live a life that is empowered with or without pain.

An important distinction. Disease is often not present or not the limiting factor of health. Instead lifestyle, capacity, belief systems and our experience with pain are.

Michael from teaches me the art of arm wrestling at .stronger charity event.

It is SO much more complicated than I thought and a perfect complimentary sport for longevity and increasing health-span.

Strength, competition, focus and socialising. All which lead to a longer and healthier life.

Below is a piece that Michael wrote on his page.

ELLIOTT REID AND REVITALIZE CLINIC
7 years ago I was in a bad state. I was somewhere around 135kg with a multitude of health problems. I struggled to walk 100 meters and had no strength.
I made the decision to enter a newly opened health clinic in Gravesend called and that was the best decision I ever made.

I met the owner and he and his team spent 18 months pulling me back to health.

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet him on the arm wrestling table so he could feel the fruit of his work on me and see how strong a 60 year old man could be.

My aim is to compete at next years European Championships as a Senior Grand Master and I have a few exceptional people to guide me.

However, Elliott started it all for which I will ever be grateful.

Throwback to making shoulders bullet proof for CrossFit

The landmine increases mobility and strength. Scale the motion with weight, tempo and proximity to the bar (ie step forward or backwards).

It's also great for BJJ, as it mimics the lock on the Kimora

Often our thoughts don't help us live true to our values

"my back is going to go"
"this is going to be embarassing"
"I'll never be good enough"

All protective but not complimentary.

Often knowing them, observing them with interest at a distance can help us to hold them on the journey towards our better selves without them blocking us.

We use pyshcotherapeutic techniques seamlessly in our mental health clinic, pain clinc and fitness services.

Best position for nerve pain

Save this one for later in case you need it.

Interesting new studies have shown the most effective way to decompress irritated nerves in the lower back. And it’s fairly easy to do.

Nerve pain is excruciating. We have seen many patients driven mad by the relentless intense nature of it. And providing this movement to our patients who are suffering with nerve pain has given them a huge break from the relentless nature of their pain.

You may not need it now, but it may be worth saving this video in case you need it in future.

Here is the link to the study https://josr-online.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13018-025-05762-8
