💪🦶🖐️ Excited for the Therapy Expo & MSK Conference 2024! 🖐️🦶💪

I can't wait to attend the upcoming Therapy Expo and MSK Conference! It's such a fantastic opportunity to dive into the latest insights and innovations in therapy and musculoskeletal health.

I'm looking forward to learning new tips, tricks, and tools that I can bring back to my clinic. From hands-on workshops to expert-led seminars, I know I’ll be gaining valuable knowledge that will enhance my practice and improve patient care.

Networking with fellow professionals and exploring the latest products from exhibitors is also something I’m really excited about. It’s a great chance to connect, share experiences, and grow together in our field.

Here are seven reasons why keeping active can help you:

1) Exercise combats health problems and can help prevent diseases
2) It improves your mood
3) It boosts your energy levels and your immunity
4) Exercise can help with brain function and memory
5) It improves your sleep
6) It helps you maintain a healthy weight
7) It’s a great social activity!

Despite these reasons, only about two-thirds of men and around half of women meet the minimum recommended national levels for physical activity, which can negatively impact your physical and mental health.

Here in we are lucky to have several gyms, a pool, the beach, the common and much more. We also have many cheap/free local exercise groups such as Tri-Hards Community Fitness Project to exercise together, make new friends and keep moving 😁

STRESS!
what can we do to alleviate stress?

Practice mindfulness
Focusing on the simple act of merely being in the present moment can allow us to step out of the mind and reconnect with our bodies allowing our senses to be the focal point, not our thoughts. Meeting the body’s basic needs is the best way to regulate the nervous system. Do you need a wee? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you need to move?

Deep breathing
Short, shallow breaths can heighten stress and trigger physical responses in the body forcing it to go into fight or flight mode. Using the 5/7 method you can lower heart rate and help rebalance the nervous system more into the PSNS (rest and digest). Breathing in for 5 counts and out for 7 counts.

Prioritise sleep
Sleep plays a fundamental role in our emotional, mental and physical well-being and by creating a calm sleep environment you will help your mind switch off from the day, allowing your body to fully relax into a deep slumber.

Spend time in nature
Spending just 20 minutes in nature has been known to significantly reduce your levels of cortisol. Whether it is going for a walk or simply opting to eat your lunch outside, nature can help improve your mood, relieve stress and anxiety and boost feelings of happiness.

Move your body
Moving your body releases feel-good endorphins and therefore, helps relieve stress and tension. From walking or jogging to swimming or cycling, find out what you enjoy and begin to incorporate daily movement into your routine.

Connect with someone
Connecting with others can help to improve your mood, become more resilient and in turn, reduce stress. Check in with your support network or join a community group to connect with someone new and remember a problem shared, is a problem halved.

A little food for thought:

Q&As

1) What might my treatment involve?
Osteopathic treatments here at Action Potential will contain a mixture of soft tissue release, various massage techniques, mobilisation, manipulation, muscle energy techniques, and active movement.

How much will consultations cost?
Costings differ per appointment type. Find fees on the website at www.actionpotentialosteopathy.uk

How long will it take?
appointment times vary between 45 minutes to an hour.

Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. As an adult (over 18), if you would like to bring someone you can but it isn’t necessary. For anyone under 18 having a parent/guardian with you is preferable.

What should I wear?
Loose fitting clothing or gym wear is preferred for ease of movement.

2) Giving your osteopath as much information as you can will allow them to tailor treatment to your needs as well as the dysfunction at hand.

3) A big part of the treatment process here is giving patients easy to follow rehabilitation exercises to take away with them. This enables the patient to take ownership of their body and ailment, and empowers them in the healing process.
Feedback and questions are encouraged as the more a patient understands what’s happening and why, the more likely they are to follow treatment plans to alleviate dysfunction.
