When you need to carry something heavy keep your elbows tucked into the side of your body, minimising the effect of the weight and remember to engage your core to ease the pressure on your back.

Keep an eye on symptoms they have changed, no longer a loss of taste or smell . If you’re in doubt take a test, stay safe and well !😊

🚨 New Covid symptoms to look out for 🚨

- Diarrhoea
- Blocked/runny nose
- Aching muscles
- Long-lasting headache
- Vomiting
- Sore throat
- Feeling tired and unwell

If you have any of these, or any of the three main symptoms (a new continuous cough, a high temperature or a change to how things taste or smell) book a PCR test 👉 http://orlo.uk/GjY9E

When booking your PCR test, say you have been asked to by the Council.

If covid has given us anything positive maybe it's this, and time with our immediate family( maybe too much for some)
Rest
recover
Remember what's important....and keep those things prioritised if you can....I'm seeing so many exhausted people at the moment!

Life is not easy especially just now,we’re all in the same storm, just some of us are wearing armbands whilst others steam past in a luxury yacht!

We often somatise our stress , headaches, grunding teeth , shoulder and back pain are all common presentations of this. Show yourself a little love and self care... book an appointment and release some tension!

The old healer to the soul:

It's not your back that hurts, but the burden.

It's not your eyes that hurt, but injustice.

It's not your head that hurts, it's your thoughts.

Not the throat, but what you don't express or what you say with anger.

Not the stomach that hurts, but what the soul does not digest.

It's not the liver that hurts, it's the anger.

It's not your heart that hurts, but love.

And it is love itself that contains the most powerful medicine. (UnknownAuthor)

I’m seeing a lot of bad shoulders and painful lower backs at the moment. No doubt consequences of working at home, home schooling and plenty of stress and let’s face it not much freedom or fun.

If you are struggling, or know someone who is please spread the word...osteopaths are still
Open despite the lockdown, and can help you find some balance again!
All PPE and cleaning protocols in place!
