Not sure what to expect with osteopathic treatment? Well...

This is an article just published in Open Access, on patient reported outcomes from patients who visited osteopaths in the UK. This included more than 1700+ patients, and, this study shows that patients who received osteopathic treatments are generally satisfied.

94.4% patients reported their experience with osteopaths are very good after having 1 week of osteopathic treatment, and 93.5% after having 6 weeks of osteopathic treatments.

Also, 50% reported their symptoms had been much improved after 1 week, and 62.8% reported so after 6 weeks.

Please note that this study don't assess effectiveness of osteopathy as such, because it doesn't include a control group. However, I am glad to know people are generally very happy with osteopathic treatments 😆

This study is done by Carol Fawkes and Dawn Carnes from NCOR (National Council of Osteopathic Research).

Happy St. Patrick's Day ☘️ 💚 🇮🇪

I think I was talking about St Patrick's Day when I was in the pub last time before the spring lockdown... it means, it's coming up to a whole year...!!!

Hope everyone is doing well, we are still in the strict lockdown rules but I feel people are started to be a bit more hopeful.
Let's keep our hopes up, keep well and safe, and hope we enjoy each day as much as possible 🥰

Enjoy your Paddy's Day everyone!

Happy International Women's Day everyone 🥰

I was made aware of this day by a lovely Polish friend's message this morning - thank you Jacek, I heard this day is a lot more celebrated in that part of the world?

To be honest I never celebrated this day as I was growing up, so I was wondering how I can best relate to this day... very fortunately, I was never stopped doing anything because of me being a woman, my education emphasised more on the equalities rather than differences of men and women... but I suppose it was very different at the time this day was invented in the beginning of 20th Century. 100 years made a huge difference, didn't it?

But I suppose this was all due to the constant effort of the previous generations, and I feel we are here to celebrate this day to remember this process.

Hope we remember this day to appreciate each other - each sexes and all the family members, sisters, mothers, daughters, and also to fully cherish who you are, the very fact that women born as women, as well as men born as men.

Lots of love and hope everyone has a lovely day.
