Long Covid / Post Viral Fatigue?

Here's a summary of a lovely testimonial from a recent patient helped back to health carefully with thoughtful, compassionate inquiry focusing on her body's experience of the stress and emotional story of her life in recent and past times and how unchecked and unseen it had depleted her natural resources for self recovery.

Osteopathy and Psychotherapy working beautifully in harmony towards a fully supported return to your birth right of health.

Are you or friends suffering from chronic pains/fatigue/mood or just not feeling yourself, DM me for details on how I can help?

In peace, Ben x

Strong Back, Soft Front 🤍
Did you know that Ben, alongside being a practising Osteopath for over 20 years, is also a certified Psychotherapist, trained with Dr Gabor Maté and in EMDR for trauma resolution?

There is no separation between mind and body — they work as one whole. We often focus on building strong bodies, but how often do we offer the same care to our hearts and minds?

As we move into the new year, this feels like a gentle invitation to notice both:
strength in our backs and boundaries,
and softness, curiosity and compassion within.

Perhaps we can check in with ourselves a little more often —
and begin with the simple practice of the 3 S’s:
Slow down / Sense / Soften

Appointments available in person or online.

Standards!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 As many of you know, I tend to start my work at my patients feet, I'd assume that a careful choice of socks ahead of your osteopathy appointment for a patient I've had the pleasure of knowing for years would be in order, not today!!! Love it, thank you for the giggles. Bx

Your spine supports everything you do, from standing tall to simply breathing and moving with ease, yet it’s easy to take it for granted until pain or stiffness sets in.
This year’s theme is all about movement and awareness, because even small daily habits make a big difference for spinal health:
✨ Move regularly
✨ Sit tall and change positions often
✨ Stretch gently throughout the day
✨ Keep your spine strong with good posture and balance
Osteopathy helps keep your spine mobile, aligned, and supported so you can move comfortably every day.
Take a moment today to thank your spine and give it the care it deserves by clicking our link in bio and getting booked in!

Just 4 questions to ask yourself!

Feelings are information, when you feel uncomfortable and driven to behaviour that doesn't serve you well to cope/adapt/block out what ever it is your feelings, try asking yourself:

1) What am I ANGRY about?
2) What am I SAD about?
3) What am I Fearful of?
4) What am I ignoring in my life that I need to pay attention to?

Your body is not some run away train thats carelessly crashing around and giving us pain.

You have ownership of an intensely intelligent machine whose soul job is to carry us through and protect us.

Instead of cursing our bodies when they cry out in pain, fatigue or feelings, perhaps ask your body, what is it you need, what do I need to know or understand, where can I help you take the load?

I promise it will give you dividends, working compassionately with you, instead of against will bring rewards of health.

Are you in Chronic PAIN?

The question is simple, but all too often over looked, whats happened to you....in the lead up, during and post the onset of your symptoms, is more important that whats wrong with you?

Osteopathically speaking, we're always looking for the "Cause", and often its not what or where the current medical paradigm tells you to look.

If you want a wider, deeper and compassionate view on your long term symptoms, then we need to speak, please get in touch.

Best, Ben

Change of seasons, anyone else secretly enjoy the rain this week?

Reminds me osteopathically of going in the direction of ease, we can't change the elements, we try to fight them but they keep coming, can we instead find the goodness, the ease in what is? Bx.
