Osteopathy will help with your Marathon. As training is starting to 'ramp up’ prior to events such as the London Marathon, your body can start to show signs of fatigue and some minor injuries.

It can be very important in the latter stages of training to seek professional assistance and advice to protect you from injuries as the event approaches.

As your miles increase we see a common pattern whereby the hips, knees and feet can start to suffer as a result of the increased strain on the body.

Osteopathy can be a significant benefit in maintaining your running health. We will assess, treat and prevent your injuries.

We regularly treat patients struggling with hip tendonitis or joint irritation around the knee. We can also advise on preventative stretching and exercises to help prepare for the best performance on the day.

Whether you are about to run a marathon, or you’re just starting out in your training, Osteopathy can support your journey, keeping you both fit and healthy throughout.

Take the next step in your running journey by contacting us at The King Clinic and we will discuss your way forward to marathon success.

Sage Saying from Dr. A.T. Still: "The most that any physician can do in treating disease is render operative the natural forces within the patient's body."

Suffering from Chronic pain?

An exclusive BBC survey, reports that over 4000 adults between the age of 16 – 75 suggest that a quarter of people in the UK are living with chronic pain, a complex and often misunderstood condition.

Defined as pain that lasts longer than three months, it can drastically change people's lives.

As highly trained specialist healthcare practitioners, osteopaths can assess, examine and work as part of a package of care that may help manage symptoms.

Sage Sayings: “Meanwhile the vogue of osteopathy grows; and no wonder. Go to any ordinary doctor and-well, I don’t say that one can cure you and the other cannot; ‘but’ I do say that the moment the osteopath’s fingers are on you, you know that you are in technically skilled hands.” George Bernard Shaw.

We are fortunate to have Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner - Naho Heneker is join the The King Clinic.

Amongst the wide range of Naho's skill, she is interested in a matter related to women's health.

On that subject, I was interested to see this article (which appeared in the Wall Street Journal) reporting on increased glucose levels in the brain associated with Menopause.

Menopause’s effects on the brain are often temporary, according to a new study. But there’s a caution for women at risk of Alzheimer’s.
