The Family Osteopath - Ben Court

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.

Rest and rest well - our bodies need quality, regular rest, to heal, balance and re-energise.

No Pain No Gain - BS!!!!

Please don't go there, how can it be right, thats you're in pain, so to get out of pain you've got to put up with more, it doesn't make sense? There are other ways, its kind, gentle, effective and sincere, working with your body to health, not against it.

The context of the family unit is so important in the treatment of children.

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.
