I love this! Keep moving, it will help in every way. It’s not advancing years that slow us down, it’s the expectation that advancing years mean we can’t continue to move and learn new things.

Every time you skip your walk, your brain and body quietly take note.
Muscle isn’t just for the young or the vain but it is your life insurance policy.

It protects your joints, stabilizes your balance, boosts your mood and even helps your memory.

Yes, lifting weights might do more for your mind than another crossword puzzle!

The real problem?

Too many people “retire” from movement.
We treat the gym like it’s for athletes instead of medicine for everyone.
The truth is simple and uncomfortable.
If you stop challenging your muscles, your brain follows.

Don’t let comfort steal your strength.
Pick up something heavy, learn something new, move like your life depends on it.

Because it does.

A brilliant description of Deep Oscillation therapy and it's use in treating scars of all types. As Emma says, it's a very soothing yet powerful addition to the range of scar therapy techniques I have built up over the years.

Good Morning Everyone

We are delighted to receive this endorsement of DEEP OSCILLATION® Therapy for scar recovery and chronic pain from Emma Holly....

"As a leading global educator on scar therapy, and for my private clinic in London’s medical centre - Harley Street - I always want to select safe, effective ways to support my clients through recovery and to improve their quality of life after a traumatic injury or surgery. One therapy device I have found truly transformative is DEEP OSCILLATION®, which I use regularly for scar recovery and chronic pain conditions.

This gentle, non-invasive treatment uses low-frequency electrostatic impulses to create deep vibrations in the tissue. Unlike other forms of mechanical therapy, it works through the skin without pressure, making it especially beneficial when working with sensitive, post-surgical, or painful areas. As I am able to deliver treatment directly using gloved hands for the application, I can continue to have feedback on the tissue quality as it changes during treatment.

Scars can feel tight, painful, and restrict mobility after surgery, and this is where DEEP OSCILLATION® makes a real difference. It helps to reduce swelling and inflammation in the early stages of healing, improves circulation and lymphatic drainage, and softens scar tissue so it becomes more flexible and less restrictive. Importantly, it relieves discomfort without the need for heavy pressure. Clients often tell me that alongside the physical improvements, they also feel emotionally lighter and more at ease as their scars become more comfortable.

For people living with chronic pain after surgery or trauma, and clients with fibromyalgia or long-term musculoskeletal conditions, even light touch can sometimes be overwhelming. DEEP OSCILLATION® offers a gentle alternative. Its soothing vibrations calm irritated tissue, reduce muscle tension, and allow the nervous system to settle. Many clients describe the experience as deeply relaxing, and over time this can help ease movement and bring greater comfort into daily life.

What I value most is how safe, versatile, and adaptable this therapy is. It allows me to begin working with clients earlier in their recovery, when traditional manual techniques might not yet be appropriate, while also providing ongoing relief for those managing chronic pain. For my clients, it often means faster recovery, softer and more comfortable scar tissue, reduced pain and swelling, and an overall greater sense of wellbeing.

In my practice, DEEP OSCILLATION® has become an invaluable tool. Whether supporting recovery after surgery or helping someone manage the ongoing challenges of chronic pain following injury, it consistently offers a gentle, effective, and empowering way to encourage healing."

Amazing community and resources for those affected by menopause and cancer.

From the Menopause and Cancer website:
"With cancer treatment often triggering menopause, 40% of women under 40 and 70%-90% of women over 40 enter permanent menopause as a result of their treatment.

Many women say that navigating menopause after cancer feels harder than chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery altogether."

Please share this resource if you know someone affected.

Menopause and Cancer are a support organisation helping those affected by menopause and cancer. We help women in surgical menopause, medical menopause after cancer treatment. We offer group services and online workshops.

I hear this a lot about wear and tear. It’s more complex than joints wearing out and what we do in terms of movement, nutrition and overall lifestyle can have a huge impact. Lots to think about

We used to think osteoarthritis was “wear and tear.”
But it turns out it’s more than mechanics. Much more than mechanics.

It’s genetic.
It’s metabolism.
It’s inflammation.
It’s systemic.

Your joints don’t break down from movement.

Our joints break down more from not moving.

That means you have more control than you think.
Improve your habits. Improve your health.
Your joints will thank you.
