This month I’m walking 31 miles in May to raise money for Dementia UK.
Walking and moving in general is good for you, and even a mile a day can help with general wellbeing.
Walking regularly can help maintain weight, lower the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. It can also strengthen muscles and bones, and help with balance and coordination.
So if like me, you are getting out and about more as the weather improves and would like find out how chiropractic might be able to help please get in touch.

Muscles don't just contract and relax......Working in pairs, together with tendons, ligaments and fascia, they stretch, recoil and work to create a symphony of movement.

CAM QUIZ!

Play along by writing your answer in the comments, and we will give you the correct answer next week!

Here's the answer to last week's quiz question:
Which of these flooring types is generally the most challenging and potentially dangerous for a dog with joint stiffness?

A) Deep pile carpet
B) Laminate or hardwood flooring
C) Rubber interlocking matting
D) A large, heavy rug

Correct Answer: B) Laminate or hardwood flooring

Slippery floors are a major hazard! Dogs lack the ability to grip hard surfaces, leading to micro-slips or major falls that can aggravate arthritis and damage soft tissue. Adding non-slip runners or rugs is one of the best adaptations a dog guardian can make.

STOLEN ARTWORK APPEAL: Clare Haggas ‘Making Amends’ stolen at Cheltenham Festival – images attached

PLEASE SHARE

I’m getting in touch with an urgent public appeal regarding a stolen artwork.
An original painting by Clare Haggas titled Making Amends was stolen at Cheltenham Festival on Friday 13th March.
The piece is highly distinctive and immediately recognisable. It features two hares positioned nose-to-nose in a quiet, intimate moment, captured in a large-format, professionally framed artwork.
This is a deeply personal piece for the artist, taking months of detailed work to complete. The hares’ fur is rendered with exceptional realism using a unique combination of pencil and acrylic techniques, making the artwork extremely difficult to replicate.
We are asking for your help in raising awareness and sharing this appeal, in the hope that the painting can be located and returned safely.
Key details:
Artist: Clare Haggas
Work title: Making Amends
Item stolen: Original framed painting
Location: Cheltenham Festival
Date: Friday 13th March
Identifiable features: Large-format artwork of two hares nose-to-nose, highly detailed fur, framed
Police Crime Reference Number: 53260014221 Gloucestershire Constabulary

Chiropractic treatment focuses on the spine and the neuro-musculosketal system and on how conditions that affect these areas can affect your health and performance. Chiropractic care involves spinal and peripheral joint adjustments and mobilisations, and assessment of the soft tissue, advice on life style, self help and exercise where appropriate. A package of chiropractic care can be used regularly to help maintain good posture, promote health and improve performance, no matter if you are a elite athlete or a senior member of the community.

How does your horse actually bend?

It’s not just about the neck… bending happens through the whole body.

Your horse can bend by:
✅ Using the neck
✅ Mobilising the back
✅ Engaging the muscles
✅ Allowing the ribs to move
✅ Using the tail for balance
✅ The sliding function of the scapula
✅ The action of the thoracic sling
✅ Abduction and adduction of the limbs
✅ Leaning into the turn

True bend is a complex, whole-body movement that plays a huge role in your horse’s balance, suppleness and way of going.

Want to understand it properly – and learn exercises to improve your horse’s suppleness and balance?

Our Bending Biomechanics on-demand webinar is available now in the Horses Inside Out Academy and linked in the image.

With summer almost upon us, the competition season in full swing, and more daylight hours many of us will be planning to spend more time in the saddle and get out and about more with our horses.

MYTH:
“A few extra kilos won’t affect my dog’s arthritis.”

FACT:
Extra weight is like petrol on the joint fire.
More weight means:
• More pressure on painful joints
• More inflammation in the body
• More discomfort when moving

Studies show that losing just 6–8% of body weight can lead to noticeable improvements in lameness.

When it comes to arthritis, even small weight loss can have a big impact.
