Here are a few helpful ways to approach eating over the Christmas break, depending on what you’re aiming for—enjoyment, balance, or staying on track with health goals:

🎄 If you just want to enjoy the holidays

- Allow yourself to indulge mindfully. Holiday foods are special — enjoy them without guilt.
- Savour your favourites. Don’t waste appetite on foods you don't actually love.
- Eat slowly. You'll enjoy meals more and feel full sooner.

🎁 If you want to stay balanced

- Keep a loose routine. Try for at least one normal, balanced meal a day.
- Add greens where you can. A side salad or some roasted veggies goes a long way.
- Hydrate. Holiday meals and alcohol can dehydrate you.
- Stop at satisfied, not stuffed. Tune into hunger and fullness cues.

🍪 If you’re aiming to avoid over-eating

- Don’t skip meals. Skipping often leads to overeating later.
- Have a small, protein-based snack before parties (like yogurt or nuts).
- Use the “one plate” guideline. Fill a single plate, enjoy it, and give yourself time to decide if you truly want more.
- Watch liquid calories. Festive drinks add up fast.

❄️ Bonus ideas

- Stay lightly active: walks after meals, snow activities, stretching, or quick home workouts.
- Try mindful treats: hot cocoa, a cookie, or a slice of pie can fit into any plan when intentional.
- Give yourself grace: holidays are about connection, not perfection.

Have you ever felt a sudden, spinning dizziness — often when you roll over in bed, lean down, or turn your head quickly — only for it to fade just as quickly? If so, you might have experienced something called BPPV — short for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

Let’s break that down:

- Benign — it’s not dangerous or damaging to your brain or body.
- Paroxysmal — symptoms come on in quick, sudden bursts.
- Positional — certain movements or head positions trigger the dizziness.
- Vertigo — a spinning or rotational type of dizziness.

Vestibular Physiotherapy is a specialist area of physiotherapy that helps the brain to adjust and adapt to problems caused by the inner ear, reducing or completely alleviating dizziness and vertigo, improving balance, restoring normal function and most importantly regaining your confidence so you can fully appreciate a better quality of life again.

Did you know that 1 in 4 adults in the UK complains of dizziness and half of all peripheral vertigo complaints are due to BPPV making it the most common cause of peripheral vertigo. Dizziness / vertigo stemming from BPPV can often be completely alleviated in as little as 2 treatment sessions!

🏃‍♀️What Do We Look At in the Running Clinic?

Our approach begins with an examination of your training history and current training loads over the previous months to address acute vs chronic training loads. From here we will look at gait analysis and a full clinical assessment to help find any issues and investigate any painful areas.

A treadmill-based running gait assessment using a specialist app will form the core of our evaluation along with an experienced physiotherapist performing muscle and joint movement, strength and length tests to identify any muscle imbalances, weaknesses or poor functional movement patterns.

🏃‍♀️What Does the Running Clinic Give Me?

Head2Toe goes beyond just diagnostics. We aim to empower you, on training loads, with information and just how your body is or could be working. Where appropriate, we give running technique recommendations and cues, to try and help your running efficiency.

In addition, we use the data from your running analysis, and aim to see you leave our clinics with a structured, highly personalised exercise programme. We want to help build strength and resilience, improve performance and keep you running injury free.

Rugby Injuries – What You Need to Know & How Physiotherapy Can Help

Rugby continues to grow rapidly in the UK, with more than 880,000 players taking part across over 1,800 clubs. It’s a sport built on speed, skill and physicality—but with that comes an increased risk of injury. Tackles alone account for around 45% of all match-related incidents, and certain injuries, such as concussion and soft-tissue trauma, are especially common.

In this guide, we break down the essentials: what concussion really is, how to return to play safely, where injuries most often occur, and why seeing a physiotherapist is one of the most effective ways to recover well and stay on the pitch.

At Head2Toe Physio, our clinicians work with rugby players of all ages and abilities—from grassroots to professional—to diagnose injuries accurately, guide safe recovery and keep you performing at your best.

I’m not a Sportsperson. How can I benefit from Massage?

Muscle tension can affect anyone. Massage can offer help to those who suffer from back, neck or shoulder pain which may be brought on by decorating, gardening or even driving.

Many postural problems occur as a result of sedentary activities such as sitting at a computer all day. These problems can be treated in the same way as those of an active sportsperson.

Repetitive strain injury, whiplash, frozen shoulder, headache, migraine, stiff neck & backache can all be relieved with deep tissue massage. Stress & tiredness are also common problems that can be alleviated.

We work with our clients to identify these imbalances, releasing the tension built up using various massage and fascial release techniques plus recommending a plan of massage and self help exercises to strengthen and stretch going forward so you’re not on our couches every week (unless by choice!)

Muscle Atrophy in Menopause: The Vital Role of Physiotherapy

Menopause brings about various physical changes for women, including the increased risk of muscle atrophy. In this blog, we will look into the connection between menopause and muscle atrophy, and more importantly, how physiotherapy can play a pivotal role in mitigating its effects.

Menopause is primarily characterised by a decline in oestrogen levels. Oestrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining muscle mass and strength, and its reduction can lead to muscle loss. As people age, they naturally experience a decrease in muscle mass. This is a term called Sarcopenia, which is a progressive loss of muscle strength, mass and function. This affects men and women and it is estimated muscle weakness costs the NHS 2.5 billion annually!
